Greek Potatoes in the Instant Pot
Olive oil, lemon, garlic and oregano…
In a Mediterranean kitchen these ingredients rule!
And in Greece they turn a humble potato into a delicious side dish that pairs perfectly with chicken, meat or fish.
Now, you could, of course, dump all the ingredients into a baking dish and cook this in your oven. It would take about an hour.
Or you can let the Instant Pot work her magic and have these delicious potatoes on your dinner table in about 20 minutes, start to finish.
I’ve been wanting to try making my Greek potato recipe in the IP for months.
Why? Simply because the Instant Pot cooks potatoes perfectly. evenly. every time.
I finally gave it a go and it was a success.
This is a fast and easy way to prepare potatoes, you’ve gotta try it!
* take it up a greek notch by serving the potatoes topped with some good quality crumbled feta cheese and a few black olives too…very yummy!

Fascinating fork and spoon you have there! Where did you find them? But onto the food: I’m making a lot of Greek recipes this month, and these potatoes of yours certainly capture the tastes of Greek cuisine.
Mary
I have no idea where I got these, I’ve had them forever and unfortunately only have the serving spoon and fork, not a full set….I love greek food, it’s flavourful and yet simple. Thanks for dropping in
Liz
Sounds delicious, in the oven do they brown more? I have never been to Greece and don’t know what they look like there. Thank you for bringing them to FF.
Mary
In the oven I used more broth to keep them cooking in liquid. These potatoes are meant to stay soft rather than crisp or brown. As a result they are also great served room temperature

Christine M
I would like to make this over the holidays and was wondering how I should adjust the cooking time if I were to double or triple the recipe? Thanks in advance.
Mary
Hi Christine, you can definitely double the recipe, but keep the liquid (broth) to 1/2 cup as thats all pot needs to reach pressure. As far as cooking time, I would add a couple minutes, that should be enough
