    Potatoes in an instant pot

  • Cover halfway with water (do not fully submerge).

    Adding water to the instant pot with the potatoes

  • Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 12 minutes.

    Replacing the lid of the instant pot and setting to pressure

  • Release the pressure naturally. Carefully remove the inside pot and drain, then return to the cooker.

    After taking the lid off the instant pot with the cooked potatoes

  • Use a hand mixer on low to mash them, but be careful not to over-mix. Add in butter 1 tablespoon at a time while continuing to blend.

  • Creamiest mashed potatoes: Starting with the boiled potatoes and whipping them until fluffy, then slowly adding butter and milk, makes the creamiest potatoes. You can use a hand mixer to make mashed potatoes, but for ultra creamy mashed potatoes, pass them through a potato ricer after cooking!
  • Make-ahead mashed potatoes: For a make-ahead mashed potatoes recipe you can prepare in the oven, follow the instructions above, then store until ready to serve (up to 3-4 days). When ready to serve, whisk an egg and brush it over the top. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, or until the top is slightly browned.
