If you’re looking for a potato side dish with lots of flavor and texture this recipe is for you! The baby yukon gold potatoes are quickly steamed in the Instant Pot and then lightly smashed and stirred together with sour cream, parmesan cheese, bacon crumbles, green onions and sundried tomatoes. This recipe is loaded with good flavor and I know you’re going to love it! Make these potatoes in the Instant Pot to serve alongside your grilled meats this summer.

To get potatoes perfect in the Instant Pot I like to use a steamer basket. This prevents the potatoes from getting grainy. I like to use the Avokado silicone steamer basket*.

  • It’s flexible
  • Made of silicone and BPA free Dishwasher safe
  • It’s at a good price point (less than $16)
  • Fits perfectly in my 6 quart Instant Pot It’s large–when I make lots of potatoes they all fit inside the basket without spilling over the sides
  • The handles are very handy to lift foods in and out of the Instant Pot
  • It can also be used as a colander
