- 6 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup butter (1 stick)
- ½ cup milk
- 2 teaspoon salt
Clean, peel, and slice the potatoes into 2" chunks.
6 large Russet potatoes
Add the potatoes, water, and salt to the Instant Pot. Secure the lid and set the valve to pressurize.
1 cup water, 2 teaspoon salt
Turn the Instant Pot to High pressure and 10 minutes on the manual settings. The Instant Pot will require 7 to 10 minutes to pressurize before it starts cooking for the 10 minutes. (Note: 7 - 10 minutes to pressurize plus 10 minutes cook time).
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.
- 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!
