Instructions

  • When oil gets hot, add onion to the pot and saute until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and celery seed and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
  • Add 1 cup broth to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Add cubed potatoes and enough broth to cover the potatoes.
  • Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
  • Using the display panel select the MANUAL or Pressure Cook function*. Use the +/- buttons and program the Instant Pot for 10 minutes.
  • When the time is up, quick-release the remaining pressure.
  • Partially mash the potatoes to desired chunkiness using a potato masher or large fork.
  • Add remaining butter, sour cream, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. Stir or blend to desired consistency, adding milk if needed.
  • Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve topped with bacon, chives and additional cheddar.
Notes
  • *If your Instant Pot does not have a MANUAL function, use the Pressure Cook function.
