Indulge in creamy, buttery mashed potatoes infused with roasted garlic, perfect for any comfort food craving and easy enough for weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 6 cloves fresh garlic, peeled
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Peel and chop the Yukon Gold potatoes into uniform chunks and peel the garlic cloves.
  2. Load Up the Instant Pot: Place the chopped potatoes and garlic cloves in the Instant Pot. Add enough water to cover them by about an inch.
  3. Season and Seal: Sprinkle salt over the potatoes and seal the lid on your Instant Pot, ensuring it’s set to 'Sealing' mode.
  4. Set Cooking Time: Select 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' on high pressure for 10 minutes.
  5. Quick Release: Once cooking is complete, carefully perform a quick release by turning the valve away from you.
  6. Mash It Up: Check if the potatoes are tender by poking one with a fork. Drain excess water, then add butter and heavy cream directly into the pot. Mash until creamy.
