Instant Pot Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes are rich and ultra-creamy, with tender layers of Yukon gold or red potatoes melting into sharp Cheddar and a hint of nutmeg. A quick pressure cook ensures perfectly soft slices, while a brief broil creates a bubbly, golden cap. Ideal for holiday tables or weeknight dinners when you want a comforting, crowd-pleasing side.

1

Combine the potatoes, broth, and salt in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot). Close and lock the lid. Choose high pressure per the manufacturer's directions; set the timer for 1 minute. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build.
2

Carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method per the manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Move the potatoes to a deep 8-inch square baking dish.
3

Stir 1 ½ cups Cheddar cheese, cream, garlic powder, black pepper, and nutmeg into the remaining liquid in the Instant Pot. Select Sauté and cook until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes.
4

Meanwhile, position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
5

Pour the cheese sauce over the potatoes and sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup Cheddar cheese.
6

Broil in the preheated oven until the cheese is golden, about 5 minutes.
