Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds boiling potatoes
1/4 cup milk
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring 2 quarts of water and 1 tablespoon of salt to a boil. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Add them to the boiling water and bring the water back to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes fall apart easily when pierced with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan, making sure it doesn't boil. Set aside until the potatoes are done.
  • As soon as the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Place a food mill fitted with a small disk/blade over a heatproof bowl. Pass the potatoes through the food mill, turning the handle back and forth. As soon as the potatoes are mashed, stir in the hot milk mixture with a whisk or rubber spatula. Add enough buttermilk to make the potatoes creamy. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the pepper, and serve hot. To keep the potatoes warm, place the bowl over a pan of simmering water for up to 30 minutes. You can add a little extra hot milk to keep them creamy.

INSTANT POT MASHED POTATOES WITH SOUR CREAM AND CHIVES



Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes With Sour Cream and Chives image

This recipe gives you everything you want in a dish of mashed potatoes: supreme creaminess from both butter and sour cream, a deep potato flavor, a little Parmesan for a salty tang, and chives for color and freshness. That said, if you want to bring the fat content down, you can use less butter (as little as 2 tablespoons will still work). But don't skimp on the sour cream, which is necessary for both flavor and texture. This is one of 10 recipes from Melissa Clark's "Dinner in an Instant: 75 Modern Recipes for Your Pressure Cooker, Multicooker, and Instant Pot" (Clarkson Potter, 2017).

Tips:

  • For the best results, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, as they are starchy and will mash smoothly.
  • Make sure to peel and cube the potatoes evenly so that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the Instant Pot with potatoes. If you need to cook a large batch, do it in batches.
  • Use chicken broth or vegetable broth instead of water for a more flavorful mashed potato.
  • Add a tablespoon of butter or olive oil to the Instant Pot before cooking the potatoes. This will help prevent them from sticking.
  • Season the mashed potatoes to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • For a creamy mashed potato, use a potato ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes.
  • If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can also make these mashed potatoes in a slow cooker or on the stovetop.
