Can you tell me how you blanched the potatoes please?

Hello! Sure! I use an instant pot, add the potatoes in a steaming basket, a little water and set the timer for 0 (works with any simmilar appliance). They only cook a little while reaching pressure. Another method is classic stovetop: fill a deep pan with water and, when boiling, add the potatoes for just a bit, 1-2 minutes. They should be just a little bit softened. Then you bake them. This is a great trick when baking potatoes with other stuff, since they have a longer cook time. Also, they come out very crispy this way

Thank you Madeline!! :) This will make cooking this dish (or any potato dish) a little easier. :) Do you know if I can use any steamer basket that fits in my instant pot or does it have to be an Instant Pot steamer basket?

I use a store bought steamer basket. As long as it fits, no problem
