Place the regular lid on and set the pressure cooker to manual high pressure for 25 minutes.

Quick release the pressure and carefully remove the potatoes and place on a cutting board.

Using a fork or the bottom of a cup, smash the potatoes until flattened slightly.

Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle with the salt and pepper.

Place the potatoes back on the rack, then put the air fryer lid on the Instant Pot.

Air fry at 400F for 12 minutes, then top each potato with ¼ cup pesto and sprinkle of parmesan cheese (if using). Set the Instant Pot Duo Crisp to the broil function using the air fryer lid. Broil for 2 minutes.
