If you're in need of a simple mashed potato recipe that's made in the Instant Pot, give this recipe a try!

These potatoes are smooth and creamy, made in minutes and with only a few ingredients. They're the perfect side dish for any comfort food meal and my kids absolutely love them!

We love making these for the holidays. It saves up on some space on the stovetop and you can start your Instant Pot and forget about them for awhile. No need to worry about them boiling over and making a mess while you're busy cooking and baking the rest of your menu.

It's a classic, no fail recipe that I always go to when we want some potatoes on the side for dinner.

Instant Pot Buttery Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 6 large russet potatoes
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 stick butter (½ cup)
  • ½ cup whole milk

Instructions

  1. Clean, peel, and slice your potatoes.
  2. Add the potatoes, water, and salt to the instant pot. Secure the lid.
  3. Turn the pot to high pressure/manual and set the timer for 10 minutes. It will take the instant pot about 7-10 minutes to come to pressure before that 10 minutes starts counting down, hence the 20-minute total cook time.
  4. Once the 10 minutes is up and the pot beeps, do a manual release.
  5. Add the butter and milk to the potatoes, then mash them right in the instant pot until they are smooth and creamy.

Notes

Slicing the potatoes into large rounds is my favorite method.


No need to drain these potatoes like you would for a stove method. Just another reason why they’re so quick!
