1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1½ pounds new or baby potatoes about 1-1½ inches in diameter, washed well and pricked with a fork
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon fresh rosemary needles minced
1/2 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 garlic cloves minced
1/2 cup vegetable broth or chicken broth

Press sauté.
When the pot reads "hot", add the butter and olive oil to the inner pot.
1 tablespoon butter, 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Stir in the potatoes and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 12 minutes.
1½ pounds new or baby potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Stir in the rosemary, thyme, and garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring the entire time.
1/2 tablespoon fresh rosemary needles, 1/2 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 2 garlic cloves
Add the broth, and scrape up any browned bits. It's important to try to get the potatoes into an even layer so they cook evenly.
1/2 cup vegetable broth or chicken broth
Close and lock the lid. Press manual high pressure and adjust the cooking time to 7 minutes. It should take about 10-15 minutes to come to pressure.
Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, and then carefully turn the pressure release valve to venting to release any remaining pressure.
Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate.
Sprinkle with additional kosher salt if desired.

Butter: If you would like to make the potatoes dairy-free, feel free to use all olive oil in place of the butter.

Potatoes: It's important that the potatoes are fairly even in size. If you have giant potatoes and tiny potatoes, they won't cook evenly.

Herbs: Feel free to vary the amount and type of herbs depending on your tastes.
