I’m wondering why this recipe requires 125 cups of water. My Instant Pot won’t hold 8 gallons of water.
Sorry, that was a typo it was supposed to be 1.25 or 1-1/2 cups of water.
Have you ever tried multiplying this recipe? (Using more than one pound of potatoes)
Yes, the time should be the same. Hope that helps. 🙂
