When we first started making it, we didn’t put it on a trivet, but put it straight in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Then, when the newer Instant Pots came out, we got the burn notice. Now we put it on a trivet.
We also used to use foil in the bottom, on top of the trivet, so that we didn’t mix any of it with the water in the bottom. We had mixed results with that, because the steam couldn’t reach all of the potatoes to cook them.
Next, we tried 2 spring form pans stacked one on top of the other. Same problem. The steam wasn’t reaching the potatoes and they weren’t getting done enough.
Finally, we figured out that we had to just stack it all directly onto the trivet and it’s totally OK if some pieces fall to the bottom. There’s not much waste, and honestly it’s a bit like beef stew on the bottom if there’s still any water left (a lot of the water in the bottom goes away because it is now infused into those sliced potatoes)!
All that to say…. Here’s the recipe. It’s a family hit, because who doesn’t like potatoes and cheese? Throw in some ground beef and you’ve got a complete meal. Almost anyway. 🙂
