Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes
Instant Pot mashed potatoes are a lifesaver for meals any night of the week, any night of the year. They're hands free, easy, and can be made ahead of time and kept warm. Make these once and you'll never go back!
Equipment
- 1 Instant Pot or pressure cooker, or other multicooker
Ingredients
- 6-7 medium mashed potatoes peeled and quartered
- 4-5 C water
- ⅓ C butter
- ⅓ C cream cheese or mascarpone cheese
- ⅔ C heavy cream
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Peel and quarter your potatoes, then add them to the Instant Pot with water. Close the lid, and set "pressure cook" to high. Set it to cook for 10 minutes. The Instant Pot will take about 10 minutes to preheat before the timer starts.
- Immediately quick release the pressure. Once the valve has dropped, open the lid carefully, and drain the potatoes.
- Mash or rice the potatoes. Add the butter, cheese, cream, garlic powder and salt. Mix thoroughly.
- Keep in the Instant Pot on the "keep warm" setting (it should switch to that automatically after the pressure is released).
- Serve and enjoy!

You can easily double this recipe to feed a crowd.
Watch out when you release the valve on the Instant Pot. The steam coming outta that thing is hot!
DO NOT overfill the Instant Pot. Trust me on this one - that maximum fill line is there for a reason.
