Equipment
- 8x8 Baking Dish *optional
Ingredients
- 4 cups water ($0.00)
- 1 cup milk ($0.20)
- 2 boxes (4.7 ounces each) au gratin potatoes ($2.32)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter ($0.50)
Instructions
- Add ingredients. Add water, milk, and sliced potatoes from the boxes to the Instant Pot. Sprinkle in the cheese sauce packets and stir to combine.
- Add butter. Place butter on top in small pieces.
- Pressure cook. Secure the lid, seal the vent, and cook on High Pressure for 7 minutes. Perform a quick pressure release when finished.
- Thicken. Let potatoes rest a few minutes to thicken before serving.
- Optional broil. Transfer potatoes to a greased 2-quart baking dish or 8x8-inch pan. Broil on High for about 2 minutes to brown the top.
- Serve. Allow to cool slightly and serve warm.
Notes
- Boxed Potatoes. Au gratin or scalloped potatoes both work, including flavored varieties.
- Ingredient Swaps. Margarine can replace butter. No need to preheat liquids.
- Cooking Tip. Using two boxes helps prevent burn warnings due to increased liquid volume.
- Reheating. Microwave leftovers for 1 ½ to 3 minutes, stirring halfway.
- Storage. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days.
