Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes 

Appreciate that you give reasons for why you do certain steps/products.

You saved our thanksgiving and they were the best mashed potatoes we’ve ever made, by far. Thank you!

All mashed potatoes are good but this is exceptionally good. For any economizers out there, you can buy a 10 lb bag of potatoes, a small container of sour cream and portion into three batches. Also, if you have a FoodSaver and a sous vide, you can make 12+ servings of mashed potatoes for real convenience and savings. It freezes perfectly. But the best selling point of all is the flavor! These are fantastic!

I really enjoy your videos. Keep doing what you’re doing. What sets you apart is your unique and thoughtful (mind full- haha) “Tips” that are spot on! I hope more folks find you soon.

I watched this at x2 speed 👌

I made these tonight for Mother’s Day dinner, and they turned out AMAZING! Thank you for making this available!! 😋

This was my first time making ashed potatoes thank you for the help!

This is my go-to mashed potatoes recipe, absolutely delicious and super easy! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Great as always. I always add fresh thyme, or dry if thats what you have to the butter when melting. Thankyou Kristen!

I have found that the best tools for the fluffiest mashed potatoes are either a ricer or food-mill. I also learned years ago that cold butter should be added before milk to insure even melting. If you melt the butter first the milk solids and fat separate and don’t mix into potatoes evenly.

Thank you as always your recipes are perfect.

Thank you for a great recipe! I can hardly wait to make them!

I'm making Minnesota mushroom swiss steak in on pressure cooker and you mashed potatoes in my smaller one tonight great recipe I'm sure I'll succeed

I love the way mashed potatoes comes out from the IP. They always come out amazing.

Had a bag of potatoes that I forgot about. Cooking them right now. The extras I will cool in fridge then vacuum seal and in to the deep freezer for quick sides for another day. We can't waste food these days. Thanks for the recipe!

They look yummy! Question: can you keep these on warm after you make them without them getting gummy or starchy while you're waiting for other items to finish cooking? Or is that not recommended.

You explained this so well. I feel like I completely understand what to do, rather than preparing to copy steps.

Can't wait to try this! The potatoes look so yummy!

This method is solid. I heated up the sour cream with the milk and butter though. Great results. Thank you.

Wow! I’m for sure gonna try this recipe! So excited to try itt😆😆

Great video just what I needed for my new instant pot. I’ll be doing mash in the pot sausages in the ninja and onion gravy on the stove finished off with garden peas for veg 😋

Thanks

Hi- just found your videos and subscribed! It’s Thanksgiving day and I made your Mac and cheese for my picky granddaughter and your mashed potatoes! Love your receipes! Thank you! I used my Instant Pot- so easy !👍👏🏻👏🏻

I never really peel potatoes, but when making mashed potatoes I do, but I cut the peel off (Making sure to scrub (wash) them) then chuck them into my food processor and polarize the peel and I add it right to the rest of the potatoes.. I started using my instant about3 years ago (trial & error) making them.. Loved your version too.. Here is another tip that will allow you to add lots of flavor to it also.. I slice my potatoes (after cutting the peel) Then I soak them in salted water (1teaspoon for a gallon of water) for 10 minutes, then rinse them twice, I put 3 parts water and 1 part softened butter in the instant pot, salt an season to your own taste, I like to add 1 large onion roughly cut and 2 garlic cloves crushed, put the pulverized skins in, when done I add half n half.. I use an immersion blender in a few short bursts and hand mix in-between bursts.. It does not matter how much of my mashed potatoes I make, they are devoured.. Thank you for sharing.. Please test my method an see how it works for you.. Also instead of the water during Thanksgiving & Christmas I use (homemade) turkey stock.. Took me a while to figure out that soaking and rinsing is the key to awesomeness (and removing the starch)... Merry Christmas.. OH.. I let mine fulling natural release, takes about 15 to 25 minutes..

I like using a mixer on high after mashing the potatoes, butter, milk and seasonings to the whip potatoes into a creamy consistency.

Thank you

Hello! I love your videos, you re really helping me. Question, I am making your IP short ribs today, doing the potatoes first, how do you suggest keeping mashed potatoes warm or reheating?

Wow, that looks so good. I have 2 very large sweet potatoes. Thats what I'm going to do today. Im going to go through your videos hopefully I'll find something. Hope you are doing well. Continued prayers. Sending love and big hugs Sherry ❤

My 6Q pot says to put in at least 1.5 cups for liquid,or does 1 cup work okay?

Do you have the portions for 5 pounds of potatoes? How much water? etc This recipe was delicious when I made 3 pounds...I don't want to mess it up, but I need to use 5 pounds this time.

You know your stuff

This host is a champion, in my opion.🌞

Please, do a cookbook!!

Did y'all take the chill off the sour cream? Thx Blessings, julie

Hi Kristen: great recipe as usual. Our old Instant Pot just broke today (after much use! I am overwhelmed with all of the choices of Instant Pot. I had no idea. When we bought this one, there was only one choice. Are the more expensive ones worth the extra cost? They sure do look a lot nicer than the one we have. But I wanted to ask your opinion first. Thanks so much Barbara

Didnt mention how much potatoes you used, 1 lbs? 3.5 lbs?

Watched in 15secs 🎉

I love the recipe. I like the skin and I heard it’s nutritious so I don’t peel the potatoes.

I add some cream cheese, too!

Good tips but I found the video very long for such an easy recipe. Also why don't you give the quantity needed on your website recipe.

👍🏻👍🏻

Süper 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯..

Whose hands are those??

Americans and Kosher salt.... Salt is salt, just in different densities.

What is special about this? It’s just basic?

Looks amazing.

depending on how much potatoes you add you need more water or else the pot won't have enough water to seal
