Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Add to a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) with water and bouillon cubes. Select Saute function; set timer for 4 minutes on High.
• Mix potatoes and water and break up the bouillon cubes. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method. Remove the pot and carefully drain off most of the liquid.
• Add sour cream, butter, and milk. Gently mash with a potato masher to reach your desired consistency.

Steps:

• Pour 2 cups water into a 6- to 8-quart Instant Pot. Add 2 teaspoons salt and the peppercorns and top with a rack. Put the potatoes on the rack in a single layer. Put on the lid, making sure the steam valve is in the sealing position. Set to pressure-cook on high for 12 minutes. When the time is up, let the pressure release naturally, about 20 minutes. (If the pressure is not fully released after 20 minutes, carefully turn the steam valve to the venting position.)
• Combine the milk and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the butter melts and the milk is steaming, 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully add the potatoes to the milk mixture and mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Adjust the consistency with more milk as needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with butter and chives.

Steps:

• Set a wire rack or steamer trivet inside the bowl of a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot. Place the whole potatoes on top of the rack in a single layer, as best as possible. Pour in the water. Lock the lid and set the valve to seal. Set the cook time at high pressure for 20 minutes. Allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes before manually releasing any residual steam.
• Carefully open the lid and remove the potatoes and rack onto a plate; set aside. Drain the water and return the bowl to the Instant Pot. Set to sauté and once the bowl is dry, add the butter and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the butter has melted and the garlic has begun to brown. Stir in the milk and cook until the milk has warmed through.
• Turn off the pressure cooker and add the potatoes back into the pot with the warmed milk and garlic. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth. Stir in the salt, garlic powder, pepper and parmesan. Give it a taste and adjust seasonings accordingly. Serve warm with the chives on top for garnish.

Steps:

• Melt butter in pot on saute. Add potatoes that have been cut into 1/2 inch cubes as well as onions and garlic.
• Stir.
• Turn off pot and add milk.
• Set to high pressure, making sure valve is set to keep pressure. Set time for 7 minutes.
• Once done, carefully do a quick pressure release.
• Mash. I did this in a separate bowl so as to not damage the stainless pot.
