Tips & Tricks:
- 🥘 Don't have a steam rack or trivet for your pressure cooker? Use metal cookie cutters, a steamer basket, rings from mason jar lids, or balls of aluminum foil!
- 🍖 If it's warm enough where you are, the ribs are great grilled on a BBQ instead of under the broiler.
Ingredients:
- 1 Rack of Baby Back Ribs (about 1-2 lbs)
- Salt
- Pepper
- 10 oz of baby dutch yellow potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup of grated parmesan
- 1 tbsp of your favorite dried herb of choice such as thyme, basil, or oregano
- 1+ cup of your favorite BBQ sauce (or DIY)

Directions:
- Potato Prep
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Cut the baby dutch potatoes in half.
- Prepare a small sheet pan with a piece of parchment paper.
- Drizzle olive oil over the parchment paper spreading with your fingers or a brush.
- Sprinkle an even layer of shredded parmesan over the oil. Just alayer big enough to fit the potatoes evenly on top.
- Sprinkle with your dried herb of choice.
- Place the potatoes flat side down on the parmesan.
- Drizzle the top of the potatoes with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Set aside until your ribs have 10 minutes left at high pressure in the pressure cooker before starting to roast.
- Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes, until the cheese starts to really brown (but not burn) and the potatoes can easily be pierced with a fork.
- Pressure Cook the Ribs
- Season both sides of the ribs generously with salt and pepper.
- Cut the ribs in half or thirds so they fit side by side in the pressure cooker.
- Pour 1 cup of water into your pressure cooker.
- Place a steam rack or trivet inside.
- Place the ribs in the pressure cooker, standing on their sides (bones should be vertical).
- Close the lid and vent and set high pressure for 25 minutes. Put the potatoes in the oven when there is 10 minutes left at high pressure.
- Let the pot do a 20 minute natural release.
- Release the rest of the pressure.
- Broil Ribs
- Once your potatoes are done, remove them and cover with tinfoil so they stay warm.
- Set the oven to broil.
- Prepare another sheet pan with tinfoil (for easy cleanup) and place your ribs on it.
- Rub BBQ sauce all over your ribs.
- Place under the broiler until crisp, about 5-10 minutes.
- If you think your potatoes need more warmth, add the covered pan to the oven for the last 2 minutes.
- Serve
- Peel the potatoes off the sheet pan, including any crispy cheese that doesn't stick to the potatoes.
- Serve the potatoes along with the ribs and additional BBQ sauce if desired.
