Ingredients you need for the Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes
Directions
1. How to make this Mashed Potatoes Recipe? Place the potatoes, garlic, salt, black pepper, chicken stock, and butter or ghee in your Instant Pot.
2. Close the lid and make sure the valve is set to “Sealing”. Press “Manual” and adjust the cooking time to 6 minutes. Cooking will begin automatically once high pressure is reached.
3. When the time is up, push “Keep Warm/Cancel”, carefully turn the valve to “Venting”, and wait for the steam to release.
4. Remove the lid and use a potato masher to roughly mash the potatoes right in the pot. Add heavy cream, and continue to mash until potatoes are smooth and creamy or when you obtain the desired consistency. Adjust seasoning needed and serve the Instant Pot mashed potatoes hot, topped with additional butter or ghee and fresh thyme.

Types of potato side dishes
In addition to these suggestions, here are other examples of potato side dishes:
-
- Hasselback potatoes
- Fondant potatoes
- Mashed potato
- Hash browns
- French fries
- Funeral potatoes
- Duchess potatoes
- Baked potato
- Potato cakes
In general, try not to pair potatoes with another starchy side such as rice or pasta. However, grilled vegetables make an excellent complement to mashed potatoes or a funeral potatoes casserole; think grilled asparagus, roasted carrots etc… They will add some crunch and contrast to your potato side.
