Instant Pot Cheesy Mashed Potatoes
Instant Pot Cheesy Mashed Potatoes recipe is a very classic mashed potato dish. The potato really shines through and is the star in this recipe. The potatoes are pressure cooked for just 2 minutes, making these mashed potatoes the fastest side dish ever!
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes washed, peeled & diced
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup butter
- 3 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
Instructions
- Take the washed, peeled and diced (into 1 inch cubes) and place them in the Instant Pot along with the water.
- Lock the lid into place, make sure the knob is set to sealing and then pressure cook on Manual HIGH for 2 minutes and then quick release the pressure.
- Drain any liquid that is left.
- Add the butter to the potatoes and roughly mash by hand until the butter has been incorporated.
- Add in the milk and sour cream and finish mashing the potatoes. Do not over mash!
- Season with salt and pepper. I didn't write a specific measurement because this is something that varies so much person to person. I suggest seasoning, tasting, seasoning, tasting etc until it is seasoned to your liking.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese and then transfer to an oven safe dish.
- Top the potatoes with the remaining cheese. Broil in the oven until the cheese has melted.
