Ingredients for IP pressure cooker mashed potatoes
Potatoes: I used king Edwards potatoes which is like an equivalent to Yukon gold or Russets potatoes. These are some of the best potatoes to use for mashed potatoes. Whatever potato you choose, ensure it is the floury and starchy type.
Chicken Broth: I thought I should try something new with my mashed potatoes especially since this is a no drain recipe so I used broth instead of water. I think I am now converted.
Butter: when making mashed potatoes I don’t skimp on the quality of butter I use. Quality butter all the way here. Trust me, you would thank me for it.
Salt and pepper: to taste
Milk: Full-fat milk or use half and half
Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes Variation
Creamy garlic mashed potatoes: Go all out with the addition of double cream, sour cream, fresh garlic, cream cheese and parmesan cheese.
Cheesy mashed potato: add some melty cheese like cheddar cheese, monetary jack cheese or any other cheese of choice
Roasted garlic mashed potatoes: add some roasted garlic to your mashed potatoes for some mellow garlicky taste.
