Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes
This Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes recipe is a real time-saver, and the outcome is always delightful! The pressure cooker makes the potatoes super creamy, and you can adjust the flavors just the way you like them.
### Ingredients
- 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and cut into chunks)
- 1 cup of chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup of milk (or heavy cream for a richer taste)
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, sour cream, or chives for garnish
Instructions
- Start by placing the diced potatoes in the Instant Pot. Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the potatoes. Make sure the broth covers them well.
- Seal the Instant Pot lid, ensuring it is locked correctly. Set it to pressure cook on high for 10 minutes. While that’s going, you can prepare any additional ingredients you’d like to flavor your mash.
- When the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to naturally release for about 10 minutes, then do a quick release for any remaining pressure.
- Carefully open the lid and use a potato masher to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency. If you like them smooth, consider using a hand mixer for a fluffier texture!
- Add in the butter, milk (or cream), and season with salt and black pepper. Mix until everything is combined and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- If desired, stir in some garlic powder or sour cream for extra flavor, and serve warm. Top them with chives or your favorite herbs for garnish!
And there you have it! Perfectly creamy and flavorful mashed potatoes from the Instant Pot that are sure to be a hit at your table. Enjoy your meal with family or save some for lunch the next day!
