Description

This Instant Pot salt and vinegar boiled peanuts recipe was influenced by the tangy flavor of salt and vinegar chips and a desire to try something new.

Ingredients

2 cups distilled white vinegar
2 cups water
1/3 cup sea salt
1 pound raw Virginia peanuts in shells

Directions

1 Whisk vinegar, water, and salt together in a large bowl; stir in peanuts to coat. Transfer to a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag; sit aside for 8 hours to overnight.
2 Transfer peanuts and liquid to a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions. Set a timer for 120 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
3 Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
