Ingredients
- 5 pounds red potatoes scrubbed but not peeled
- 1 cup water
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Place 1 cup of water to the bottom of an instant pot.
- Quarter the potatoes and add them to the Instant Pot.
- Seal and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
- Do a quick release to release the pressure from the Instant pot after the cook time.
- Drain the excess liquid out of the instant pot insert.
- Add in the garlic, milk, butter, salt and pepper.
- Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or a hand held mixer on medium speed until all the ingredients are combined and are the desired consistency (be careful not to over mix). I like to leave a few chunks in mine.
- Taste test the mashed red potatoes and add in more salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!

Notes
- You can use half and half instead of the whole milk for this recipe if you prefer.
- Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5-7 days.
- This recipe is large and easily feeds 8-10 people. You can half the recipe if you don’t need as large of an amount, but still use the 1 cup of water to make sure the instant pot comes to pressure and then drain off the excess water before mashing the potatoes.
