INSTANT POT MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot. Add 1 1/2 cups water and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Secure the lid and set the pressure valve to sealing. Using the pressure-cooking mode, set to 10 minutes. (Note that it will take some time for the pressure to build up; from there, the automatic 10-minute clock begins!)
• When the cook time is up, with a wooden spoon, carefully turn the valve to venting to let the pressure release quickly. After the pressure has been fully released (you'll see the button pop down), remove the lid. There may be some water on the bottom of the pot; if there is any, remove the insert and drain the water off.
• Mash the potatoes, letting as much steam escape as possible. Add the butter, cream cheese, half-and-half, heavy cream, seasoned salt, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and the pepper to the potatoes. Stir until everything is melted and combined. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
• Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish, sprinkle with extra pepper and top with a pat of butter.

INSTANT POT® MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place a steamer inside a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add 1 cup water to the pot. Place potato chunks into the steamer. Close and lock the lid. Select Rice function and 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, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove lid. Add 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon cream cheese and milk to the pot and mash using an electric hand mixer or a potato masher. Season with salt and pepper.

INSTANT POT MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Prepare Potatoes: Bring unsalted butter to room temperature by placing it on counter 2 hours prior to cooking. After peeling and washing the potatoes, cut them into quarters.
• Pressure Cook Potatoes: Place 1 cup (250ml) cold water and a steamer rack in Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Place quartered potatoes on the steamer rack. Pressure cook at High Pressure for 8 minutes, then Quick Release.
• Heat Milk & Cut Butter: When Instant Pot has got up to pressure, heat milk over medium low heat on the stove. Once the milk has reached simmer, turn off the heat. Then, cut room temperature unsalted butter into cubes.
• Mash Potatoes: Open the lid carefully. Let the Instant Pot stay in Keep Warm Mode. Transfer the potatoes to a large serving bowl. Discard the water and remove the steamer rack from inner pot. Rinse and dry the inner pot really well with a towel. Place inner pot back in the Instant Pot. If you are using a food mill, layer the food mill on the inner pot and mash the potatoes back into the inner pot. We used a food mill, but if you are using a potato masher, transfer the potatoes back in the inner pot and mash the potatoes.Give the mashed potatoes a few quick stir with a silicone spatula.
• Melt Butter & Add Milk: If it is for special occasions, we strongly recommend using ¾ lb (341g) - 1 lb (454g) unsalted butter. It tasted super amazing. Switch Instant Pot to Slow Cook Less Mode. Add half of the room temperature unsalted butter and melt it into the potatoes by stirring gently with a silicone spatula. Add in remaining unsalted butter and repeat this step.Change Instant Pot to Keep Warm Mode.Pour hot milk on the mashed potatoes and gently stir it in. Allow the potatoes to absorb the milk. Season with Kosher salt and taste to adjust until desired saltiness. We used approx 4 pinches of coarse kosher salt.
• Serve: Serve Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes immediately as a side dish. Enjoy!!*Pro Tip: It can stay in the Keep Warm Mode for roughly an hour. If the butter starts to separate from the mashed potatoes after an hour, gently stir it back together with a silicone spatula.

• Set a rack in the bottom of a 6-quart Instant Pot® and add 3 cups water. Stack the potatoes on the rack. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 15 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, turn off the heat and let the steam release naturally for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, follow the manufacturer's guide for steam release and allow any residual steam to air out. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid; transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Add the half-and-half, butter, sour cream and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher until desired texture and smoothness. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Steps:

• Combine the potatoes, garlic, and broth in the inner cooking pot. Lock the lid into place and turn the valve to "sealing." Select Manual or Pressure cook and adjust the pressure to High. Set the time for 8 minutes. When cooking ends, carefully turn the valve to "venting" to quick release the pressure.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander set over a large bowl, reserving most of the cooking liquid in the bowl. Transfer the potatoes to another large bowl and add the half-and-half and butter to them. Use a potato masher (or electric mixer) to mash the potatoes, adding the reserved cooking water a little at a time, until they are the texture you like. Season with the salt and pepper.
