Ingredients
  

  • 15 Red Peeled Potatoes small to medium
  • 3 Tablespoons Minced Garlic
  • ½ Cup Parmesan Cheese Grated
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Pepper
  • Parsley Garnish

Instructions
 

  • Peel and dice potatoes. Place your chopped potatoes into the Instant Pot insert. Next, add 1 Cup of water to the Inner pot.
  • Add the garlic, salt and pepper to the Instant Pot and close the Instant Pot lid.
  • Once the lid is locked in place, set the valve to sealed position and set the pressure cooker to cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
  • It will take around 10 minutes for the pressure cooker to come to pressure.
  • Once the Instant Pot stops counting and beeps release the pressure manually. A natural release is not good when cooking potatoes as it will make them go mushy.
  • Add the parmesan and butter to the Instant Pot.
  • Using a Potato Masher, mash your garlic potatoes in the Instant Pot. Alternatively, you can blend the potatoes with an immersion blender (blend stick).
  • Serve your garlic mash topped with parsley or fresh chives for added flavor.

Notes

The Perfect Potato Choice: For the easiest mashed potatoes, use potatoes cut into even chunks. Cooking them in an electric pressure cooker like the Instant Pot ensures perfect tenderness.
Seasoning is Key: Don't forget to season well with salt and pepper. It's a simple step that can take your Instant Pot garlic mashed potatoes from good to great.
Creamy Texture: If you love mashed potatoes with a rich, creamy texture, add butter to keep your potatoes fluffy and avoids them becoming gummy.
