Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 pounds russet potato cut into large cubes - skins on or off, your choice
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 6 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • ½ cup butter unsalted
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Add the cubed potatoes and garlic cloves to the Instant Pot, cover with the chicken broth.
  2. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and secure, set to the sealing position.
  3. Cook on manual high for 8 minutes.
  4. Quick release the pressure from the Instant Pot and remove the lid.
  5. Remove ¼ cup chicken broth from the Instant Pot and set aside.
  6. Drain the potatoes from the remaining chicken broth, then add them back to the Instant Pot with the reserved ¼ cup chicken broth, butter, sour cream, salt and pepper.
  7. Use a handheld potato masher or electric hand mixer to mash the potatoes.

Notes

  • To keep these potatoes warm after you've mashed them in the Instant Pot, simply place the lid back on the Instant Pot and turn on the "keep warm" setting. This will keep the mashed potatoes warm until you're ready to serve them.
  • Vegetarian Option: use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth to make the potatoes vegetarian.
  • Instant Pot Size: You will need a 6 quart or larger Instant Pot to make this recipe.
