Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes are creamy and so easy to make. Much faster than cooking on the stove. Cook the potatoes and mash them all in your pressure cooker.

  • 3-4 cups water (enough to just cover the potatoes)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (divided)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • chopped parsley or chives (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Add to Instant Pot - Add the potatoes and water to instant pot. The water should just cover the potatoes. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the salt.
