I grew up in Idaho, where we know how to make a delicious potato. This must be something ingrained in me because I think potatoes might be my favorite food in the entire universe.

When I got my Instant Pot last year these mashed potatoes were one of the first recipes I tried.  Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes are simple and easy to make in 15 minutes in your electric pressure cooker.  They are so tasty, I guarantee you will never make them the old-fashioned way again.

When you are making a big meal for your family, it is very nice to free up a burner on the stove by using the Instant Pot. You can imagine how helpful this could be for a big family meal like Thanksgiving or Christmas.

This recipe is also great to pair with Instant Pot Meatloaf or my favorite Instant Pot Mississippi Pot Roast recipe.

If you haven’t invested in an Instant Pot, I encourage you to check them out.  The Instapot (as I like to call it) has been extremely helpful in our busy lives. I have been able to make my family a meal in minutes, sometimes using chicken straight out of the freezer. The flavor is amazing and it doesn’t heat up the kitchen in the summer.  I have loved having it as a part of my kitchen!
