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”.

• Mash until combined and creamy- but don’t overwork or the potatoes will become very gluey.
