Pressure Cooker Cheesy Au Gratin Potatoes
  1. 1

    Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch slices with a mandolin. Rinse them under cold water to wash off excess starch.

  2. 2

    Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot). Add the potatoes, chicken broth, onion, parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Close and lock the lid. Choose high pressure per the manufacturer's instructions and set the timer for 1 minute. Allow 10 minutes for the pressure to build.

  3. 3

    Carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method per the manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

  4. 4

    Add the evaporated milk, Cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese to the pot. Gently stir until the cheese melts. Transfer the potatoes to an oven-safe baking dish.

  5. 5

    Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven broiler to low. Broil for 4 minutes, or until the top is browned and bubbly. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes to thicken.
