Simple Instant Pot® Mashed Potatoes image

This is an easy take on mashed potatoes. The potatoes pressure cook away while you focus on other things. This is a basic but tasty recipe; feel free to update with your own ingredients. You can peel the skins if you prefer. Once you mash it up, you can return insert back to the pot, reattach the lid, and place it on the Keep Warm function until you are ready to serve.

Overall, these mashed potatoes were good, but not great. I would probably try a different recipe next time.

The mashed potatoes were a bit too runny for my liking. I had to drain off some of the liquid before serving.
