Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Creamy Leek Mashed Potatoes.
Step 1
Begin by placing cubed potatoes and sliced leeks into your Instant Pot, seasoning them with half a teaspoon of coarse salt.
Step 2
Pour in enough water to fully submerge the ingredients, roughly two cups.
Step 3
Secure the lid tightly and select the high-pressure setting, adjusting the timer to ten minutes.
Step 4
As the pot heats up, it will take about ten minutes for the pressure to build.
Step 5
Once the timer goes off, allow the pressure to release naturally for ten minutes, then carefully switch to the quick-release method to let out any remaining steam, which should take around five minutes.
Step 6
With the lid unlocked, drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot.
Step 7
Activate the 'Sauté' function on your Instant Pot and toss the potatoes for about three minutes until they dry out and begin to sizzle.
Step 8
Next, add butter and stir until it melts into the warm potatoes.
Step 9
Gradually pour in warmed milk and mash the mixture with the back of a wooden spoon for a rustic feel, or use a ricer for a silky smooth finish.
Step 10
Finally, taste your creamy mashed potatoes and adjust the salt to your liking.
Step 11
Enjoy this comforting dish that brings warmth to any meal!.
