Instructions

  1. Fill Instant Pot with 1 inch of water in the bottom, maximum 1 ½ cups water.
  2. Peel the potatoes and chop them into 1 ½ inch pieces.
  3. Place the potatoes in Instant Pot. Sprinkle with salt, put the lid on top of the Instant Pot, and turn to close the lid.
  4. Set the valve to “sealing”. Press the MANUAL button, HIGH pressure. Press the +/- button to set it to 12 minutes. It will take a little while for the Instant Pot to come to pressure, at which time it will start counting down.
  5. When it counts to zero, it should beep. At this time, carefully turn the valve to "venting" position. Immediately turn the steam release handle back to the "sealing" position at the first sign of spattering. Quick release should ALWAYS be closely attended.
  6. Once the pressure cooker has vented, open it, and add the milk and butter. (Potatoes do not need to be drained.)
  7. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes right in the pot, season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • The instant pot will need to be filled with 1" of water. The amount of water may vary based on the size of your IP.
  • If using russet potatoes, be sure to peel them first. Peeling is optional with Yukon gold potatoes.
  • If desired, add a few cloves of garlic to the potatoes before cooking and mash it all together.
  • Potatoes do not need to be drained.
