Pressure cooker Mashed Potatoes Recipe

I’m so excited about this pressure cooker mashed potatoes recipe. It might just be the next best thing – right after sliced bread. Ok, I might be a bit dramatic, but this is a game changer for my family! I am about to show you how to make real mashed potatoes all in one pot. Yes, just one pot to wash.

No draining, no boiling.

I told you – these instant pot mashed potatoes are a game changer in the kitchen. 🙂

Pressure cooker Mashed Potatoes are ready in under 15 minutes.

It is true. In less time it takes you to boil potatoes, you can have the potatoes peeled, cooked, mashed, and on the table with this super simple  instant pot mashed potatoes recipe.

Now you will need an electric pressure cooker for this recipe. I personally have an Instant Pot and so far I am loving it.  You can find the Instant pot on sale here.

I seriously do love it. However, there are other great electric pressure cookers that will work great for this recipe too. You can find them all on sale here. 

How long does it take to cook a potato in a pressure cooker?

It actually doesn’t take very long to cook potatoes in the pressure cooker. Now, for pressure cooker potatoes I only set the timer for only 6 minutes so they are soft enough to mash. Now if you want your potatoes a bit firmer for a chunkier mashed potatoes I would set the timer for only 4 minutes. Either way you are going to have amazing potatoes.

Ingredients you need:

• 2 to 3 lbs of potatoes
• 1 cup of water
• 1/2 stick of butter
• 1 cup of milk
• salt and pepper to taste

How do you make mashed potatoes in a pressure cooker?

1. Peel and Cut your potatoes into chunks.
2. Place the potatoes in the pressure cooker or Instant pot. Add 1 cup of water.
3. Place the lid on top and make sure your nob is set to sealing.
4. Then click the manual button and turn it to 6 minutes.
5. Walk away and wait until it beeps.
6. Do the quick release on the top to relieve the pressure.
7. Add the butter, milk, salt and pepper.
8. Mix well with an electric hand mixer (there is one on sale right now) right in the instant pot or mash with a hand masher.
9. Serve and enjoy!

We love these no fuss Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes.

I’m thinking these instant pot mashed potatoes would be great for Thanksgiving too when your stove and oven are both covered in different dishes. That way you can free up space on your stove top and your mashed potatoes would be ready in no time.

Plus, I love that I can put the lid back on and the mashed potatoes stay nice and warm in the instant pot. That is a win win!
