Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 5 pounds potatoes washed and chopped
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • ½ cup butter
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons seasoning salt

Instructions
 

  • Place the potatoes and water in the Instant Pot.
  • Secure the lid and set the valve to sealing. Select manual setting for 10 minutes.
  • When it's done, you can do manual release right away, or just forget about it for hours. After the pressure has released, drain the little bit of water, add the butter and let it melt.
  • Stir in the milk and seasoning salt of your choice. (It's going to vary a bit in saltiness so make sure to taste them.)
  • Mash them well, taste for salt, put the lid back on and let the magical keep warm setting keep it warm for you!

Notes

  • I use my wild mushroom seasoning salt to season Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes.
  • Make sure and weigh your potatoes - that is what allows the magic ratio of water to potatoes so you don't have to drain.
