Pour 1 cup cold water into the bottom of the Instant Pot inner pot. Place the metal trivet in the pot.
Prick the potatoes in a few spots with a fork.
Place the potatoes on top of the trivet in the Instant Pot. It is ok if they are stacked on top of each other.
Close the lid and move the steam release valve to the sealing position.
Pressure cook on high pressure according to the size of the potatoes: 12 minutes for small potatoes (2 – 2 ¼ inches wide), 16 minutes for medium potatoes (2 ½ inches wide), 20 minutes for large potatoes (3 inches wide). The Instant Pot will take about 8-12 minutes to reach pressure and then the cook time will begin counting down.
When the cook time ends, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes by leaving the Instant Pot alone. Then quick release any remaining pressure by carefully moving the steam release valve to the venting position using the handle of a long spoon.
When the float valve drops down, open the Instant Pot lid.
Place the baked potatoes on baking sheet (line with foil if desired, but not parchment since you cannot place parchment paper under the broiler).
Rub/brush the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with Kosher salt.
Place under the broiler in the oven for 3-7 minutes, until skins begin to get golden and crisp. Watch the potatoes closely so they don't burn.
