To begin making Instant Pot Breakfast Potatoes I washed off 6 Yukon Gold potatoes.

I cut the potatoes into 1″ cubes.

Then I placed the cut up potatoes in a steamer basket.

I put 1 1/2 cups of water in the Instant Pot and lowered the basket into the pot.

Next I set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for 3 minutes.

While the potatoes were cooking I sliced up a yellow onion.

After the potatoes were done I did a Quick Release and removed the lid.

Then I carefully lifted out the steamer basket and placed it on a cutting board.

I dumped out the remaining water in the Pot.

Next I added some olive oil to the Instant Pot and set it to Saute Normal for 7 minutes.

I threw in the sliced onions and sauteed until they were just starting to soften.

While the onions were cooking I quickly measure out some rosemary, basil, black pepper, salt and paprika.  I also got my bacon crumble ready.

Once the onions were starting to soften I added a bit more olive oil and then the cooked potatoes.

Then I dumped in the seasonings I had prepared.

I continued sautéing, stirring all the ingredients together until well combined.

For the last two minutes I stirred in the bacon crumble.

Once the Pot shut off I transferred the Instant Pot Breakfast Potatoes to a serving dish.

Serve up the potatoes immediately.

Instant Pot Breakfast Potatoes are the perfect complement to any meal.

Enjoy every bite of this hearty side dish any time and not just for breakfast!
