INSTANT MASHED POTATO, HAM AND CHEESE CASSEROLE
Oh my gosh, this is the cheapest, quickest and tastiest main dish ever. We have this at least once a week. I like to brown my ham in butter before adding to casserole. It just makes the ham a little crisp. You will not be disappointed.

INSTANT POT™ SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
If one of the dishes you crave most at Thanksgiving is rich and buttery sweet potatoes spiced with cinnamon and vanilla and piled with gooey melted marshmallow-this recipe is for you. Seriously, it's the tried-and-true casserole, except in one way. This version is smarter, faster and therefore a better recipe when you're short on oven space and time, i.e., on Thanksgiving. Here's why: The whole dish is made in a single pot-your Instant Pot™-from cooking the potatoes to the final step of melting the marshmallows. Potatoes cooked under pressure practically fall out of their skins, so the most time-consuming step is super snappy. The rest of the casserole comes together without much more than a bit of stirring. And perhaps best of all, your casserole can be left inside the pot until you're ready to serve, so it'll arrive at the table piping hot.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for this recipe, as they are starchy and will hold their shape well. Yukon Gold potatoes can also be used, but they will result in a creamier casserole.
- Use fresh or frozen vegetables: If using frozen vegetables, be sure to thaw them before adding them to the casserole. Fresh vegetables can be used without thawing.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use Swiss cheese, Gruyère cheese, or a combination of cheeses.
- Season the casserole to taste: Be sure to season the casserole with salt, pepper, and other spices to your taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Conclusion:
This instant potato casserole is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with just a few simple ingredients and can be easily customized to your liking. The casserole is creamy, cheesy, and flavorful, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
