Equipment

  • 1 Pressure Cooker such as Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1kg/2 lbs potatoes Russet or Maris Piper (UK)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 150g/5 oz cream cheese full fat
  • 125ml/1/2 cup milk whole
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Peel the potatoes and quarter them. Add the potatoes to the Instant pot and pour in water just to cover them (approximately 3 cups), then add 1 tsp salt.
  • Pressure cook for 8 minutes, then quick release the pressure and drain the potatoes. Let them steam dry for a couple of minutes before mashing.
  • Mash with the cream cheese, hot milk and butter until no lumps left. Taste and season with salt. My preferred tool for mashing is a potato masher or a potato ricer for the smoothest mash.
