cuisine icon Notes
["Tips","You can substitute small yellow-fleshed potatoes, as long as they weigh about 11⁄2 lbs (750 g) total. Reduce the pressure cooking time to 5 minutes. You don’t need to peel the potatoes before mashing them.","Mash potatoes just until they are your desired consistency and everything is combined. Do not overmash, as the potatoes will become starchy."]

Ingredients
  • 4 russet potatoes
  • 5 tbsp butter
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup low sodium chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Steamer basket
Instructions
  • Add 1 cup (250 mL) hot water to the inner pot and place the steamer basket in the pot (see tip). Place potatoes in the basket.
  • Close and lock the lid and turn the steam release handle to Sealing. Set your Instant Pot to Pressure cook or Manual on High for 8 minutes.
  • When cooking time is done, press Cancel and turn steam release handle to Venting. When float valve drops down, remove lid. The potatoes should be fork-tender. (If more cooking time is needed, continue pressure cooking on High for 1 minute.) Remove steamer basket and set aside. Discard water.
  • Set your Instant Pot to Sauté on Normal. When the display says Hot, add 2 tbsp butter and heat until melted. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add potatoes and the remaining butter; start mashing potatoes. When butter is absorbed, add stock, mashing until combined. Press Cancel.
  • Gradually add cream, mashing, until potatoes are your desired consistency. (Use only as much cream as is needed to reach that consistency.) Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve immediately.
