Instant Pot Potatoes and Ham is comfort food all wrapped up in one dish. Thinly sliced potatoes, selective ham, smothered in melting cheese.
Who doesn’t love cheesy potatoes and ham?! The Instant Pot allows you to create a meal all in one in a matter of minutes.
What type of ingredients are needed?
I recommend sharp cheddar cheese. Monterey Jack, mild cheddar or other cheese of your choice is also an option.
Kerrygold is the best butter because it actually comes from cows in the rich green land in Ireland. This butter literally makes everything taste good. I am not sponsored by them, I just love their butter and tell everyone about it. Ha!
I use deli ham or packaged ham if in a rush. If it is near the holidays, you can use leftover ham that you may have on hand.
How to slice the potatoes?
Don’t forget about the potatoes, which should be sliced thinly so that all the flavors can be in every bite. Around 1/4 inch thick would be a great size. If you have a mandoline, this would be a great time to use it.
Do I need a steamer basket?
A steamer basket is recommended for this meal. It fits perfectly down inside your 6qt Instant Pot. It keeps the potatoes from falling apart and getting disintegrated in the liquid.
