Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes

 Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes

(serves 6)

My youngest child's favorite food group. So I had to find a go-to to remedy her desires and it be relatively quick and simple on my part. Most ingredients you should already have on hand. 

Ingredients:

3 lbs russet or gold potatoes, peeled and sliced

water to cover potatoes

2 tsp salt

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup sour cream

1/4 cup milk

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp pepper

Directions:

1. Place the peeled and sliced potatoes into the bottom of the instant pot (no need for trivet).

2. Cover with water and add teaspoon of salt.

3. Place lid on the instant pot and set the valve to seal. Cook on manual pressure for 8 minutes. 

4. When timer goes off, turn instant pot off. Quick release the pressure from the pot. 

5. Drain the potatoes and return to instant pot. 

6. Add remaining salt, pepper, garlic powder, butter, milk and sour cream and mash (or use blender) until smooth.
