Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 3 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
  • Water
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ cup Butter
  • ¼ cup Sour cream
  • ⅔ cup Half and half
  • 1 teaspoon All Purpose Seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Put prepared potatoes in the Instant Pot.
  • Pour enough water over the potatoes to just cover them.
  • Add salt.
  • Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
  • Quick release the pressure and test the potatoes for doneness - a fork inserted in the potato should easily release.
  • When potatoes are done, mash the potatoes to your desired consistency.
  • Stir in butter, half and half, sour cream and All Purpose Seasoning Blend.
  • You can add more half and half to reach your desired consistency.

Christina's Notes

  • Top: Finish with bacon bits or fresh chives.
  • Best Mashers: A ricer works best for the best texture but you can use a potato masher or an electric hand mixer.
  • Additions: Cream cheese, heavy cream or chicken broth can be of use for this best instant pot mashed potatoes.
  • Warm up: Before you add the sour cream, butter and half and half warm them in the microwave.
