Notes

*While the cook time is 12 minutes, it does take time for the Instant Pot to come to pressure, THEN it will start the count down from 12.
Want to double these for a larger crowd? Double all ingredients, EXCEPT the cooking liquid. The potatoes need to be fully submerged in the broth, but it shouldn't exceed the max-fill line of the Instant Pot. You may or may not be able to do this depending on the size of your Instant Pot.
