Notes

Choose the Right Potatoes: Creamy mashed potatoes are made with Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes that soak up butter and cream for a rich, indulgent flavor.
Don't Overcook or Undercook Your Potatoes: Cook potatoes in the instant pot until fork-tender to avoid gummy overcooking or lumpy potatoes from undercooking.
Season Generously: Potatoes require ample salt. Season generously. Add more salt if necessary.
