Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes
Description: Mashed potatoes are fast and effortless with the use of an Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker. Season to your liking!
Ingredients
- 3 lbs. russet potatoes ($1.50)
- 1 cup chicken broth ($0.13)
- 1/2 Tbsp seasoning* ($0.15)
- 3 Tbsp butter ($0.39)
Instructions
- Peel and cube the potatoes (about 1-inch cubes). Place them in the Instant Pot along with the chicken broth and seasoning of your choice (see notes for what I used).
- Close the Instant Pot lid, close the steam valve, and select the "Steam" option. The machine will auto-set to 10 minutes. Let the machine come up to pressure, cook for 10 minutes, then naturally release pressure.
- Once the pressure has released, open the pot and mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Add the butter and stir or mash into the potatoes until melted. Taste and adjust the salt or seasoning as you see fit.
