Kathi says
I have made a recipe similar to these for years. However, I would NOT recommend that you mash the potatoes in your instant pot pot or it may void the warranty and damage the non-stick interior. Other than that – they are really great potatoes for a pot-luck too.
Jenn says
Super delicious! A total hit at the party. Followed recipe to the letter. I wondered about draining off the water before mashing, but since the stick of butter was in there, decided not to drain. Super creamy and the ranch flavor really added something unexpected.
Doug says
Can you cook this in a regular old style pressure cooker?
Anna says
What kind of potatoes would you recommend to use?
Carrie says
Just about any kind will work well.
Brooke says
In the past month I’ve made this recipe 3 times. It was very good the first time I made it for Thanksgiving and people really liked it. However, the 2nd time I added a brick of cream cheese at the same time as the sour cream and it made it a homerun! I HIGHLY recommend adding cream cheese. It elevates it to the next level!
laurie says
dont have an instapot can I just boil the potatoes and drain and continue like making regular mashed potatoes
Carrie says
Laure – Yes, definitely!
Clara says
Can do this recipe in a crockpot instead of the oven? Looking for something to take to potluck ?
Carrie says
Yes, I think you could use the crock pot for the last step instead of the oven to keep them warm. Thanks.
Sandra says
What if I don’t have a pressure cooker.
Carrie says
Sandra – I would make the potatoes like how you normal making mashed potatoes and then construct the casserole from there. Thanks and good luck!
Dale says
