Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes

These Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes are seriously the easiest mashed potatoes I have ever made! This will definitely be the only way I make them now.

Thanksgiving is less than 1 week away, can you believe it?!

I decided to whip out my Instant Pot to make these mashed potatoes because I always feel like I never have enough room on the stovetop to cook all of my side dishes on that day.

This was definitely a time saver too!

I have been OBSESSED with my Instant Pot (affiliate link) lately! I just love how much quicker everything cooks and so far I have had no fails with any recipes. 

I feel like everything comes out perfectly cooked every single time! 

Alright let’s get into this Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes recipe!

Add the Potatoes and Garlic to a 6 quart Instant Pot. Add just enough water to cover potatoes, around 3 cups.

Add a generous pinch of Sea Salt. Place lid on Instant Pot and set to high pressure for 12 minutes. When finished turn valve to quick release.

Drain any remaining liquid and place Potatoes and Garlic back into Instant Pot. Use a Potato masher to mash until smooth.

Add in Butter and Vegetable Broth, stir until desired texture. If you want it more smooth then add more Broth.

Add Salt, Pepper, and Parsley to taste. Then proceed to chow down!
