Basic Steamed New Potatoes

Rice can be cooked while steaming at the same time. Refer to your instruction manual for directions.

Prep: 5 min. Total: 25 min.

1-2 pounds small new potatoes (about 1-2 inches in diameter), scrubbed, unpeeled
3 cups water

Add potatoes in one layer to steam tray. Add 3 cups water to the inner pot. Place inner pot in the rice cooker and place steam tray into the inner pot. Close lid and press the Steam/Cook button. Allow to cook until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes after water begins to boil. Test potatoes: carefully open the lid, keeping hands and face away to avoid steam burns. Check potatoes with a fork, taking care not to touch the sides of the steam tray or inner pot, as they will be hot. If potatoes are not completely cooked, replace cover and cook for another few minutes. Use oven mitts to remove steam tray from rice cooker and serve hot with butter, salt and pepper.
