Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes washed and cubed
- 1 cups water or chicken broth
- 1 cup warmed whole milk
- 4 T butter
- 1/2 tsp salt or more to taste and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and chop potatoes.
- Put the potatoes in the instant pot and add 1 cup of water.
- Put the lid on, seal the steam valve, and cook on manual/high pressure for 12 minutes.
- When the cooking cycle is complete, do a quick pressure release by twisting the steam valve to “venting”.
- Open the lid. There won’t be much water, so you don’t need to drain. Add butter, salt, milk, and pepper to taste.
- Mash until combined and creamy- but don’t overwork or the potatoes will become very gluey.
