Instant Pot Scalloped Potatoes And Ham Recipes

INSTANT POT SCALLOPED POTATOES AND HAM

Steps:

• Start by washing, peeling, and slicing your potatoes to 1/4 inch thick. I recommend using a mandoline.
• Once potatoes are thinly sliced toss them into the Instant Pot. Add in your diced ham, parsley, garlic, onion, salt, chicken stock, and place lid on the Instant Pot.
• Make sure the valve is set to sealing and do high pressure/manual for 1 minute. Once the timer goes off do a quick release.
• Remove all your potatoes and ham and place them in your baking dish. Make sure to leave all the liquid in the Instant Pot. This will be the base of your creamy cheesy sauce.
• Now you will turn your Instant Pot to saute and add in your heavy cream and shredded Monterey jack cheese. You need to stir constantly so it doesn't burn.
• Once the cheese is fully mixed and melted, go ahead and mix up your cornstarch and tablespoon of cold water. Then pour that in and again continuously stir. This will thicken the sauce.
• When the sauce is thick, pour over the potatoes and ham. Then gently stir the mixture to cover the potatoes and ham.
• Top with 1/2 cup Monterey jack cheese and then place your mixture in a preheated oven and broil on high. Cook anywhere 3-5 minutes until it becomes golden brown on the top.
• Remove from the oven, top with fresh parsley, and serve.

INSTANT POT SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH HAM

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and slice then ¼ inch thick - I use a Mandoline to make it quick and easy. Try and not go any thinner or thicker as they either will cook too fast, or not cook enough.
• Add potato slices to the pressure cooker pot in layers. Add the cut ham over the top of the potatoes.
• Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme and rosemary. Pour the broth evenly over the potatoes.
• Place the lid on the pot, seal the vent and press Pressure Cook/Manual button, set time for 1 minute (2 minutes for high altitude). Yes for one or two minutes, it will take about 12 minutes to come to pressure and they will be cooking during that time.
• Perform a quick release once the cooking has ended, once the pressure pin pops down, open the lid.
• Butter an 8x8 or 10x7" baking dish or spray with non-stick oil and move rack to 8" from broiler, preheat the oven to Broil 500 degrees F.
• Using a cooking spider or slotted spoon, carefully remove the potatoes and ham to a buttered 8x8 or 10x7 baking dish, trying to layer them as nicely as you are able, they won't be perfect. Leave as much liquid behind in the pot as possible.
• If not much broth is left, add additional ¼ - ½ cup of broth to Instant Pot and turn on the Saute function. Add 1 ½ cups of the cheese, heavy cream and the nutmeg to the liquid in the pot. Stir until melted and creamy, then turn off the IP and remove from cooker.
• Pour the the cheesy mixture evenly over the potatoes and set the baking dish under the broiler for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is browned and golden. Watch carefully, it can go from brown to burn quickly.
• Allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving, then garnish if desired with chopped fresh thyme or rosemary.
• Are they done? To see if they are finished warming, place a butter knife in the middle of the au gratin potatoes and hold for 30 seconds. When removed, if the knife is hot, they are ready. But if the knife is cold, they need more time.

BEST INSTANT POT® SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Combine potatoes, vegetable broth, and salt in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 1 minute. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Transfer potatoes carefully to an 8-inch square oven-safe deep dish. Combine 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese, cream, garlic powder, pepper, and nutmeg in the pressure cooker with the remaining liquid; select Saute function and cook until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce evenly over potatoes and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese.
• Broil in the preheated oven until golden, about 5 minutes.
