Steps:

• You don't need to sear this roast. Not necessary. *See below for shredded porketta.
• Leave roast in netting and on trivet with broth on the bottom of the inner pot.
• Arrange whole (peeled or unpeeled) med-sized potatoes around the roast. They won't fit on the trivet, you can just place them sort of elevated next to the roast.
• Cook on High Pressure for 24 min* see note (about 8 min per lb.) and do a full 30 min NPR. Even if the pin drops, do not open the pot. Just wait.**If you want to shred the roast see notes below
• When NPR is done, open pot and carefully remove potatoes. Check the temprature of your roast. Your roast should have an internal temperature of about 168° F (75°C). If your roast has reached that temp then lift roast out with the trivet and let cool a bit before slicing.
• When roast has cooled enough to handle, carefully remove the netting. Be careful, sometimes netting can be elastic and make a mess with the seasonings. Slice roast as desired for plating.
• Serve roast and potatoes with the flavorful juices from the bottom of the pot. Thicken it with a cornstarch slurry if you want more of a gravy instead.
