Ingredients
- 5 pounds potato Yukon gold variety
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter softened
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1/4 cup milk plus more as needed
- herbs for serving, or chives
Instructions
- Rinse and peel the potatoes. Cut larger potatoes into quarters and smaller potatoes in half, making sure the potato chunks are similar in size for even cooking.
- Place potatoes into the Instant Pot along with the chicken broth and salt.
- Cover, set valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 9 minutes. It will take around 10 minutes for the pot to come to pressure.
- When the timer goes off, carefully open the valve to quick release the pressure and remove the lid.
- Add the butter, cream cheese, and milk to the potatoes and mash until smooth and creamy. Add additional milk as needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and season with additional salt, if needed. Sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes
- We much prefer Yukon Gold potatoes for mashing, but red skinned potatoes will also work.
- Swap the milk for cream for a more rich and decadent mashed potato experience.
