Ingredients
- 1kg/2lbs 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.
