This week I’m showing you how to make russet potatoes in the Instant Pot. Batch cooking potatoes to keep in the fridge is a great way to help you maintain a whole food plant-based diet. If you always keep them on hand, you’ll always have a healthy snack to reach for instead of junk food.
Watch my latest video to see how easy it is, or find the instructions below.
