My easy recipe for creamy Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes is so quick to make and they come out perfect every time. You can make them in your pressure cooker in less than 20 minutes!
Peel and wash your potatoes. Cut them into 1.5 inch thick slices
Place the potato slices into the base of your instant pot or other pressure cooker and add 1.5 cups water
Lock the lid, turn the steam release vent to 'sealing' and adjust your pressure cooker to cook for 7 minutes at High Pressure.
When the cook time time is complete immediately open the steam release vent and then carefully remove the lid. If the potatoes are not soft enough simply put the lid back on and cook for one more minute.
Drain out all the liquid from the pot.
Mash the potatoes and add in salt, pepper, garlic powder, butter, parsley, and sour cream. Taste and adjust as needed.
Cook Time - if the thickness of your pieces of potatoes vary much from what I've suggested in this recipe (1.5 inch thick slices) then the cook time may be different according to the size of the potato pieces.
Nutrition - is about 1/2 cup (210g) of mashed potatoes per serving.
Double Recipe - provided your pressure cooker can fit in the extra potatoes you can easily double the amount. See your brand manual for maximum amount as it may vary. The cook time will remain the same but it may take longer to come to pressure.
Potato Varieties - Russets, Yukon Golds , or Red potatoes are our favorites for mashing.
