Now I can make amazing mashed potatoes in less than 10 minutes. It takes about 2 minutes to peel the potatoes, 3 minutes to cook them, a few more minutes to wait for the Instant Pot to depressurize and about 2 minutes to prep them.
Ingredients:
3 large potatoes
1 cup water
1 tsp salt
To make mashed potatoes:
3 tbsp butter
1/2 cup whole milk
salt to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Wash and peel potatoes. I have left skin on potatoes on some occasions and it tastes as good too.
Dice the potatoes to make sure they cook fast
Put diced potatoes in Instant Pot and add 1 cup water. The water should just cover potatoes. Then add salt and stir.
Close the lid and cook for 3 minutes. You’ll have to click on manual and set the time to 3.
Once it’s done I usually wait a few minutes before opening the lid to make sure it’s naturally depressurized. However, if I’m in a hurry I just do a quick release, which means you let the pressure out.
Drain the water from the Instant Pot before making the mashed potatoes.
Add the butter and start mashing the potatoes. You can mash them with a fork or a masher but I’ve found that using a hand mixer is the fastest way to get them done. Once they’re almost all mashed, add the milk and salt. Taste a few times while adding the salt to make sure they taste right to you.
Keep mashing them until they have the texture you like.
Serve just plain or garnish with a little bit of parsley and/or parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
