Description

These Instant Pot mashed potatoes are easy to make and mash in one pot with just 5 ingredients for a creamy, buttery, and delicious potato side dish.

Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
1 1/2 cups water
2 cubes chicken bouillon
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
2 tablespoons milk

Directions

1 Peel potatoes if desired, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Place into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) with water and bouillon cubes. Select Sauté function and cook for 4 minutes.
2 Stir potatoes and water and break up bouillon cubes. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
3 Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method. Remove the pot and carefully drain off most of the liquid.
4 Add sour cream, butter, and milk. Gently mash with a potato masher to reach your desired consistency.
