INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Set your pressure cooker on sauté mode and add the avocado oil. Allow the oil to heat up.

Tips:

• Potato Selection: Opt for potatoes that are suitable for roasting and have a higher starch content, such as Russet or Yukon Gold. These varieties tend to result in crispier exteriors and fluffy interiors.
• Uniform Cutting: To ensure even cooking, cut the potato wedges into uniform sizes. This will help them cook at the same rate and achieve a consistent level of crispiness.
• Skin On: Leaving the potato skins on adds texture and flavor to the wedges. Plus, the skin contains valuable nutrients, so there’s no need to peel them unless you prefer it.
• Seasoning Balance: Achieve a well-balanced flavor by adjusting the amounts of onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to your taste preferences. If you love garlic, feel free to add a bit more for an extra garlicky punch.
• Smoky Twist: Experiment with different types of salt. Using smoked salt in place of regular salt can introduce a delightful smokiness that enhances the overall taste of the wedges.
• Crispiness Enhancement: To enhance the crispiness of the wedges, pat them dry with a paper towel before seasoning and sautéing. This helps to remove excess moisture, allowing the wedges to become crispier during cooking.
• Cooking Time: Cooking times may vary depending on the type and size of your pressure cooker. Be sure to follow your cooker’s instructions for sautéing and pressure cooking accurately to achieve the best results.
