Prepare The Ribs

1. Remove the membrane from the ribs. Rinse & pat dry. You may need to cut the rack of ribs in half in order for them to fit in the appliance.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the Homemade BBQ Rub ingredients. Rub the seasoning all over the ribs on both sides.

Slow Cooker

Option 1:

1. Place a large piece of aluminum foil down. Add the prepared ribs to the center of the foil. You can also add unseasoned ribs and rub them down with the seasoning directly on the foil.
2. Bring the shorter edges to the center, then fold them over each other to make a seam in the center. Fold in the edges to seal so that you create a packet. Repeat with the other half of the ribs if you cut your rack in half.
3. Place the foil packet in the slow cooker. Pierce the potatoes with a fork and add them to the slow cooker around or on top of the ribs.
4. Cook HIGH 3-4 hours or LOW 6-8.

Option 2:

1. Add the prepared ribs to the slow cooker, standing up with the meat facing out.
2. Add potatoes in the center inside the ribs.
3. Cook HIGH 3-4 hours or LOW 6-8.

Instant Pot

1. Add the water to the pressure cooker. Add the trivet rack to the base.
2. Add the prepared ribs, standing up around the trivet with the meat facing out. Add the potatoes inside the ribs on the trivet rack.
3. Close lid and seal valve. Set high pressure and cook for 35 minutes. When cooking time is done, naturally release pressure for 10 minutes then manually the remaining pressure.

BROIL

1. Turn your oven to BROIL.
2. Carefully remove the potatoes and the ribs from the appliance.
3. Place the ribs on a baking sheet. Spread the BBQ sauce on top of the ribs. Place the baking sheet in the oven under the broil for 2-5 minutes. Add more BBQ sauce if needed.
