Prep Time20 mins

Total Time32 mins
Servings: 6 to 8
Calories: 924kcal

Ingredients

  • 4 baking potatoes
  • 1 cup water
  • cup butter
  • cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups milk
  • cup cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 lb. bacon cooked and crumbled, + extra for serving
  • 4 green onions chopped
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place a steamer basket inside the pressure cooker.
  • Wash the potatoes well, poke with a fork several times, and add to the steamer basket.
  • Add water to the pressure cooker pot.
  • Set cook time to 12 minutes.
  • Let the pressure release naturally.
  • Remove the potatoes from the pot.
  • Remove the steamer basket and dump the water.
  • When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, split them in half and scoop out the pulp.
  • Set aside.
  • Hit the saute button.
  • Melt the butter in the pressure cooker pot.
  • Whisk in the flour and cook for a minute.
  • Gradually add the milk.
  • Cook until bubbly, but don't let it boil.
  • Stir often.
  • Stir in the potato pulp, 1 cup cheese, bacon, green onions, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat through, but don't let boil.
  • This may be a good time to remove the pot from the unit as there's no good way to control the temperature and you don't want the milk to approach the boiling stage.
  • If it's too thick, add a bit more milk.
  • Serve with the remaining cheese and bacon.
