- 1/2 cup Salted butter cut into cubes
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon Salt plus more to taste
- 1/4 cup Milk optional see step 8
Instructions
- Wash and peel the potatoes then cut them into 2 inch pieces.
- Place the potatoes in the pot of your Instant Pot and fill with enough water to cover the potatoes, approximately 4-5 cups. Add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt to the water.
- Lock the lid in place and turn the valve to SEALING.
- Set to HIGH PRESSURE for 10 minutes.
- When the timer goes off press CANCEL and then let it do a natural release for 5 minutes.
- Carefully turn the valve to VENTING and release the remaining steam.
- Remove the lid and carefully remove the potatoes (be careful it will be hot!) and drain the excess water by pouring the potatoes into a strainer.
- Put the potatoes back in the pot and add the butter and cream cheese. Use a potato masher or a hand mixer to begin mashing the potatoes. If your potatoes are a little dry you can add a small amount of milk until you reach the right consistency.
- Add salt to taste.
- Enjoy!
