Notes
If you have a newer Instant Pot that doesn't have a manual button. You will want to use the Pressure Cook button.
These mashed potatoes can either be served imminently or moved to an airtight container and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Once you are ready to eat them, simply reheat them in a pan on the stove with a little milk or heavy cream to keep them from burning and sticking to the bottom of the pan.
You can also freeze mashed potatoes and keep them for 1-2 months.
These mashed potatoes can easily be made on the stove as well as in the Instant pot. Simply boil the potatoes on the stove until tender, drain, add the ingredients listed above, and enjoy!
