Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds Organic Idaho Potatoes
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 4 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • Water To Cover Potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon Chives For Garnish

Instructions
 

  • Peel the Potatoes, and cut them in small cubed or bite size pieces. Place the potatoes in the Instant Pot, and cover them with water.
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot until it beeps and locks. Make sure the pressure valve is set to ‘SEALING’. Press the ‘STEAM’ button, and set the time for 7 minutes.
  • When the potatoes are done, the Instant Pot will beep and go to the ‘OFF’ setting. With a pot holder, turn the pressure valve to ‘VENTING’, and release the pressure – quick release.
  • When all the pressure has been released, the float valve will drop down, and you can remove the lid to the Instant Pot. Drain off any excess water.
  • Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the Potatoes, and stir, and mash with a Potato masher.
  • Add the cream and butter, and stir well, mashing any lumps that are left. Top with Chives. Serve immediately

Notes

  • Additions: If you prefer more butter, cream, salt, or pepper with your Potatoes, add a little more until the desired amount is reached. Add additional amounts a little at a time for best results.
  • Quick Release: For the best texture in your Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes, be sure to use a quick release of pressure after cooking. This helps prevent the potatoes from becoming overcooked and too watery, ensuring they stay perfectly fluffy and ready to mash!
