Servings 7 -8

Ingredients
 

  • 3 pounds medium russet potatoes or a combination of russet and yukon gold, peeled or unpeeled*
  • 6-8 cloves garlic I like 8
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • ½ cup butter 1 stick
  • ½ - 1 cup milk adjust to consistency preference

Optional ingredients:

  • cup - 1 cup grated parmesan adjust to taste
  • 2 - 4 tablespoons heavy cream to consistency preference
  • *see notes for other additional ingredient ideas

Instructions
 

  • Add the potatoes, garlic, water, and salt to the pot.
  • Secure the lid, close the pressure valve, and cook for 16 minutes at high pressure.
  • Quick-release pressure.
  • Add the butter, mash, then slowly add milk and heavy cream if using while mashing the potatoes.
  • Optional: add the parmesan or any other ingredients if desired.
  • Top with freshly ground black pepper and chives. Add more butter if desired.

Notes

  • *If you are using a large or XL potato, cut it in half before putting it into the pot.
  • You may want to adjust the salt at the end; if you're not using parmesan cheese, you'll likely want to add more salt. 
  • A few ideas: you can mix in sour cream or cream cheese if you prefer a bit of tang. Or you can sprinkle in bacon, cheddar cheese, green onions for loaded mashed potatoes!
