Check to see if its done, if its not, continue to cook for 30 seconds at a time until its finished. Pressure Cooker: Cook on high for 13-18 minutes depending on the size of your potato. Allow pressure cooker to offgas naturally for 5-10 minutes before releasing pressure. Oven : heat the oven to 425F and cook for 30-45 minutes, checking for doneness anytime after 20 minutes.
