Ingredients
- ½ cup chicken stock regular strength
- 3 lbs russet or Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- ½ cup milk whole preferred
- ½ cup butter sliced and softened, plus more for drizzling
- kosher salt
- Optional seasonings: freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder or roasted garlic, chopped herbs of your choice
Instructions
- Pour broth into the inner pot of your Instant Pot. Place potatoes onto steamer rack. Close lid and lock in place. Turn steam release handle/valve to correct position, if needed. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
- While potatoes are cooking, combine milk and softened butter slices into a saucepan over low heat. Stir until butter is completely melted and milk is warmed through. Turn heat off and keep warm.
- Once pressure cooker is done, do a Quick Release. Gently remove lid and remove steamer rack, sliding potatoes into the pot with broth. Use a potato masher to mash potatoes.
- Add warm milk/butter mixture and a generous sprinkle of kosher salt - any optional seasonings can be added now as well.
- Keeping Instant Pot on "warm," continue to hand-mash potatoes to your desired texture. Taste and add more salt, if needed. Serve with drizzle of melted butter or gravy, if desired.
Notes
- If you enjoyed this recipe, please come back and give it a rating . It helps keep your favorite recipes alive on the site. And we just ❤️ hearing from you.
- Russet potatoes tend to result in fluffier, lighter texture, while yukon gold potatoes will yield a creamier consistency. The choice is yours; you can try combining both types of potatoes as well.
- If you'd like to make roasted garlic mashed potatoes, you can roast the garlic a day ahead of time.
- Over-mashing potatoes can lead to gumminess, so be sure to watch carefully as you mash and stop as soon as your potatoes turn creamy.
- Finished mashed potatoes can be kept warm in the Instant Pot for 1-2 hours before serving, though the sooner you can serve it, the better. If needed, you can stir in a bit more liquid (broth or milk) to mashed potatoes before serving.
- Stovetop option: boil peeled/cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water for 15 minutes, or just until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and proceed with recipe as written.
- We adore these mashed potatoes with Smoked Spatchcock Turkey or Beef Tenderloin Roast.
