Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes

We all know the holidays, big gatherings, and even weeknight dinners can feel like a lot to manage. These easy Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes, however, will make life so much easier. I absolutely love my Instant Pot (especially around the holiday season) as it frees up my stove, doesn’t need babysitting, and quietly takes care of a whole dish while I focus on everything else. This recipe for Instant Pot mashed potatoes uses just five simple ingredients, plus water, and takes the stress out of one more dish to juggle. And don’t worry. These potatoes are buttery, soft, and creamy…not gummy or pasty.

Buttery Mashed Potatoes in the Instant Pot

Instant Pots are a huge help when you’re tight on space, and mashed potatoes have always been my go-to side because they’re inexpensive and easy to pull together. And while they’re simple to make on the stove, this Instant Pot mashed potatoes recipe makes it even simpler! Prep your potatoes, add them to the pot with water and salt, and let the machine take it from there. Once it beeps, gently release the steam (I usually set a kitchen towel over the valve for safety), then drain, mash, stir in the butter, and pour in the milk gradually until it’s smooth and creamy. These potatoes are cozy, consistent every time, and easy to serve again the next day!

Recipe Success Tips

I use russet potatoes as they’re some of the BEST potatoes to make mashed potatoes with. They have a high starch and low moisture content, which creates a fluffier mash. Yukon golds are also great and mash up creamy (just be careful not to overwork, as waxy potatoes like Yukon gold can easily become gummy), or you can do a blend.

Make sure to cut the potatoes uniformly into large cubes so they cook evenly.

You don’t have to discard any potato skins if you don’t want to. You can fry them in the air fryer for a crispy snack (about 400°F for about 5–10 minutes). Or you can skip peeling them if you don’t mind the added texture in your IP mashed potatoes.

If you LOVE butter, you can definitely add more than 6 tablespoons. I thought 6 was the perfect amount to keep it rich and buttery. If you have extra and it’s within budget, you can add some more. Or you can add less if preferred!

Warm or room-temp butter and milk will give you the smoothest results. Adding cold liquid can cause the starches in the potatoes to seize up and create a less creamy texture.

I DON’T recommend using an electric mixer or stand mixer to mash the potatoes. They make it way too easy to overmix, and overmixing can make the potatoes gummy or gluey.

I kept the seasonings in this Instant Pot mashed potato recipe extremely simple with just salt and pepper. You can absolutely add any seasonings you enjoy. Most dried herbs, onion powder, garlic powder, and even a pinch of nutmeg would be great. You can also swap the water for chicken stock or broth (skip the salt in step 2 and add it to taste when mashing) for even more flavor.

What Else Can I Add?

Once your pressure cooker mashed potatoes are cooked and you’re mashing them, you can mix in just about anything you like! Here are some of my favorite add-ins:

• Sour cream
• Any cheese you love, like cheddar, Parmesan, Gouda, or a little cream cheese (this is a great way to use up any leftovers from your holiday cheeseboard!)
• Fresh herbs such as chives, parsley, thyme, or dill
• Roasted garlic
• Smoked paprika or a pinch of cayenne
• Caramelized onions or onion chutney
• A spoonful of basil pesto
• Chopped green onions
• A bit of Dijon or whole grain mustard for a subtle kick
• Whatever budget-friendly odds and ends you’ve got hanging around the fridge or pantry!

Time-Saving Tip!

If you like to prep your veggies ahead to save time on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any special occasion, go ahead and peel your potatoes the day before! Either keep them whole (then chop before cooking) or cut them into large cubes, add them to an airtight container, cover with cold water, and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Drain and rinse with fresh water before adding them to your Instant Pot. Just avoid cutting them too small, or they’ll absorb too much water and might get mushy.
