Notes
April 16, 2018 UPDATE: My original recipe called for only 2 tablespoons of water, and it worked with my original (now discontinued) version of Instant Pot, which didn't have any "burn" warning. However due to number of readers' feedback about "BURNT" warning, I purchased a new Instant Pot and reworked the recipe. I tested the recipe many times, and found 1/3 cup of water is perfect amount. The pressure cooker comes to pressure just fine without any warning and cooks the potatoes perfectly. More water overcooked the potatoes.
