    Ingredients

    • 6 large Russet potatoes

    • ½ cup butter (1 stick)
    • ½ cup milk
    • 2 teaspoon salt
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Clean, peel, and slice the potatoes into 2" chunks.

    • Once the 10 minute cooking time has elapsed, the Instant Pot will beep. Do a manual release, taking care to stay out of the steam release path.
    • Add the butter and milk to the potatoes. Mix with a hand mixer either in the Instant Pot cook pot, or transfer them to a deep bowl to mix.
      ½ cup butter (1 stick), ½ cup milk
    • Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning, and serve immediately.

    Notes

    • Be sure to put the 1 cup of water in the Instant Pot, as it is needed to get the pressure up to cook.
    • These mashed potatoes freeze well, if you have any left overs that is!
