Sooo been it's been awhile cos to be honest it's been crazy as heck around here. Hubby took a new job and will out of country and its just me so I had to change somethings, get out of my funk and comfort zones.
Today thanks to Facebook marketplace I am the new momma to a baby instant pot duo mini...again just me my 6 quart is gonna to much food. I had to cut all my recipes in half for just me so no food is wasted. So the Duo Mini 3 quart 7 in 1 is perfect for me. Heck might even help me lose weight.
Well it's gray and cold overcast day, the kind day to curl up on the couch and Hulu/ Netflix binge watch with warm drinks in hand and do nothing else. So the first recipe I tried in my new baby instant pot (soon I will get around to naming them) was this. Its a twice baked potato casserole. OMG let me tell ya'll it's creamy, cheesy and bacony all in one with cheese and sour cream oh my! I still have left overs for say for lunch tomorrow.
The currently recipe cooking in my baby instant pot on slow cook is yup....Apple Cider, and then I use the apples to make apple butter. No to waste perfectly cooked apples. Can't wait! Fall/winter flavors.
so here is the Twice Baked potato Casserole recipe I got from Instant Pot Twice Baked Potato
Ingredients you will need:
- 5 pounds of potatoes.......I did 1 pound
- 1 1/2 stick of butter.....I used 3 Tbsp butter
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup of milk (may need more to make it creamer)...I used 1/2 a cup
- 1 cup of sour cream....3 Tbsp
- 1 ranch seasoning mix....2 tsp of the powder mix
- 2 cups of shredded cheese (save some for toppings)...I did 1C. cheddar and 1C. montray jack
- 1 bundle of green onions chopped....I skipped this
- 4 slices of bacon cooked and crumbled (or use bacon crumbles) ....used bacon bits
How to make Twice Baked Potatoes in the Pressure Cooker:
- Cut your potatoes into chunks. Leave the skin on. I didn't do this
- Place in the pressure cooker or Instant pot. Add 1 cup of water ( I should of used 1/2 cup), Stick butter, and salt and pepper.
- Place the lid on top and make sure your nob is set to sealing.
- Then click the manual button and turn it to 6 minutes. For the duo Mini use pressure cook on normal but keep the 6 minutes.
- Walk away and wait until it beeps.
- Do the quick release to relieve the pressure.
- Add the other butter, milk. Here I just added the milk
- Mix well with an electric hand mixer (there is one on sale right now) right in the instant pot or mash with a hand masher.
- Add in sour cream, ranch mix, and mix well.
- Fold in Shredded cheese and green onions.
- Place in a baking dish. Top with remaining cheese, chives, bacon.
- Baked in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. I baked mine in my toaster oven at 300 degrees 30 min.
- Serve and enjoy!
It's addictive and creamy and oh so yummy. So give thanks to eating on a dime for this awesome recipe and check out her other recipes too.
