Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Pressure Cooker Mashed Potatoes.
Step 1
Start by pouring three cups of cold water into your pressure cooker and set it over high heat to bring it to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once the water is bubbling away, gently add your sliced potatoes to the pot, taking care not to splash.
Step 3
Next, seal the lid of the pressure cooker tightly and allow it to reach high pressure.
Step 4
When it’s hissing away at full pressure, reduce the heat to low and let the potatoes cook for a cozy 30 minutes.
Step 5
After the time is up, it’s time for a quick release—carefully release the pressure to avoid any steam burns.
Step 6
Drain the potatoes and return them to the warm embrace of the pressure cooker.
Step 7
Now, add in some creamy butter and milk, then cover the pot again and let it sit for about five minutes.
Step 8
This little pause allows the heat to melt the butter and warm the milk, creating a luscious blend.
Step 9
Once the time is up, remove the lid and season your potatoes with a sprinkle of kosher salt and a dash of white pepper.
Step 10
Grab a hand masher and mash those potatoes until they’re delightfully smooth and creamy, just the way you like them.
Step 11
Finally, transfer your velvety mashed potatoes to a serving bowl, and enjoy them hot, savoring every comforting bite.
