    To begin pressure cooking the potatoes, first thoroughly clean them under running water

    Place the lid over it along with the weight

    Cover and cook on a high heat until you hear the about two whistles

  7. 7

    After the first two whistles, turn the heat to low and simmer for three minutes, after which you can turn the heat off

  8. 8

    Once you turn the heat off, wait for the pressure to release naturally as the steam present inside continues to cook the potatoes for a while longer

    Once the pressure has released, you will be able to lift the weight easily and open the lid of the cooker

  11. 11

    You can test the potatoes for done-ness by inserting a knife into them
