Instant Pot Parmesan Ranch Potatoes

Your Instant Pot pressure cooker is perfect for making this quick and easy Instant Pot Parmesan Ranch potatoes recipe. You only need a few simple ingredients and a handful of potatoes and you’re ready to make the tastiest, cheesiest potatoes that everyone will love.

The flavors of Parmesan cheese and ranch seasoning go perfectly together. And making potatoes in your Instant Pot couldn’t be easier. I love the flavor of red potatoes. They’re also a bit sturdier than regular Idaho or russet potatoes, though both are excellent too. I always like to leave the skins on my red potatoes because they taste so good!


Any kind of potato dish has always been one of my family’s favorite comfort foods. Potatoes rarely get old with its variety of dishes, it can be served in practically endless ways. It always shows up on the table for gatherings, big or small. No matter how you prepare it, they still turn out amazing!

After scrubbing the potatoes, slice them up about 1/2 inch thick. Then cut those slices in quarters. Red potatoes vary in size. 2 lbs of red potatoes will wind up being around 6-8 potatoes. It’s ok if you’re over or under a little. Just cut em up and toss them in the pot. I’ve found that the perfect cooking liquid is a combination of water and low-sodium chicken broth. You can certainly use one or the other, but I think the flavors are perfect using 1/2 cup of chicken broth and 1/2 cup of water. Then toss in a 1oz packet of dry ranch dressing/seasoning mix.

Potatoes are known to be the world’s 4th food staple after wheat, corn, and rice. But for many European households, like the one I grew up in, potatoes are commonly referred to as the “second bread.”
