Made these potatoes today for our Christmas lunch. They turned out perfect. From now on this will be the way I make mashed potatoes. Your recipe is a total winner!

It’s really not the same. I’m not saying there isn’t an awesome crock pot recipe, but cooking under pressure is something else.
Without a pressure cooker, you’ll want to boil or bake the potatoes, then mash them. I recommend boiling them in salt water with the skin on, then dumping them in cold to remove the skin. Mash then stir in a pot adding butter and cream, salt. Add some corn or potato starch, or the reserved cup from the boiling water (it will contain potato starch).
Be careful to not over salt, a little goes a long way. Also, more butter helps.

I love mashed potatoes! I hate making mashed potatoes! I have struggled for more years than I care to admit with making decent mashed potatoes. I always boiled, mashed and added milk and butter and always wound up with subpar mashed potatoes. THESE TURNED OUT FANTASTIC! I am so proud of myself right now, it’s not even funny! I asked my Google home: Hey Google! How long do I cook potatoes in the instant pot for mashed potatoes? She gave me a verbal 10 minutes and also sent me the link to this site. Thanks!

p.s. I have the crockpot express but can never find many, if any, recipes using it as a search. So even though I have a CPE, I use “instant pot” as my search.

In reply to lynn. Hi Lynn, we haven't tested this in a crock pot so I'm not sure.

This was great! Hosted my first Thanksgiving and went with this recipe since I was low on oven space. Only sub I made was maybe 1/4 tsp less salt. Made it ~2 hours before dinner and it stayed soft and lovely in the instant pot. I left it on warm and just rested the lid on top. Perfect.
