These Restaurant-Style Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes make a perfect side dish for the holidays. Thanks to the keep warm function they can even be made ahead.
Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally (NPR) for 10 minutes, then turn the valve to venting to release any remaining pressure. Using oven mitts carefully drain the water from the inner pot.
05Add the butter, 2/3 of the milk, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, pepper and the roasted garlic. Use a small knife to pull the soft cloves from its skin.
06I highly recommend mashing by hand with a potato masher for the fluffiest mashed potatoes. Add the remaining milk as needed for desired texture.
07You can keep the mashed potatoes in the Instant Pot on the Keep Warm function while you prepare the remaining dinner items.
