📝 Preparation Steps
1
Put a cup of water in the insert pot of pressure cooker along with the wire rack. Put potatoes on the rack.
2
Seal the Instant Pot, turning the steam release valve to “Sealing” and set it to high pressure for ⏱️ 6 minutes, depending on the thickness of potatoes. (I just use the “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” button.) If potatoes are closer to 2 inches or a little larger, cook for 7–⏱️ 8 minutes.
3
Preheat oven broiler.
4
While potatoes are cooking, put butter in a small saucepan or skillet and warm over medium heat until bubbly. Let it bubble for a few minutes until it just barely starts to turn a golden color. Add garlic, pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and cook for another ⏱️ 30 seconds. Remove butter from heat and set aside.
Garlic, Minced6 cloves
5
When cooker finishes the pressurizing cycle, turn the steam valve to “Venting” to manually release the steam.
6
While potatoes are still warm, transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet. Place another rimmed baking sheet on top and press down very firmly, smashing the potatoes. If you need to, use a fork to roughen them up a bit (you’ll want to do this to get more crispy edges).
7
Drizzle half of the garlic brown butter mixture over the potatoes and sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt on them. Put them under the oven broiler for 5–⏱️ 8 minutes or until dark golden spots form on the potatoes.

8
Remove potatoes and serve with remaining brown butter, sour cream, and green onions.
