Instant Pot Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Instant Pot Garlic Mashed Potatoes
- 5 lbs of baby white and baby red potatoes mixed (so 2.5 lbs of each), whole and skin on (yukon gold or larger red potatoes work great too – just cut them into quarters)
- 3 cups of garlic or chicken broth (I used 3 tsp of Garlic Better Than Bouillon plus 3 cups of water. NOTE: This will make for a very creamy mashed potato – almost liked a creamed potato – which is just how I like it. If you want it thicker, only use 2 cups of broth. If you want it very thick, use only 1.5 cups of broth. See the yellow “Jeffrey Sez” section for more info)
- 6 whole cloves of garlic
- 1 stick (8 tbsp) of salted butter
- Two 5.2 ounce packages of Boursin (any flavor OR 8 ounce brick of cream cheese if you can’t find Boursin which is in the deli section of most markets and is sold in Costco in 3 packs)
- 1 tbsp of garlic salt
- 1/2 tbsp of black pepper
- 1 bunch of chives, sliced
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Goes PERFECT with my BREAK-THE-INTERNET Pot Roast!
Using 3 cups of broth with the potatoes will make for a very creamy mashed potato, which is just how I like it. If you want it thicker, only use 2 cups of broth. If you want it very thick, use only 1.5 cups of broth.
To the point above, if you used less broth than 3 cups when mixing the ingredients together after mashing, you may find you want it creamier. Add in 1/2 – 1 cup of heavy cream or half & half to achieve that.
Leftovers will thicken in the fridge due to the Boursin or cream cheese. Simply place in microwave or stove and add a little cream to loosen it up and blend.
In the market for a good potato masher? This one is great!
- Add the potatoes, the broth and the garlic (in that order) to the Instant Pot and hit “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” High Pressure for 15 minutes. Quick release when done
- Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes up in the pot. It may appear soupy at first, but once fully mashed, the potatoes will absorb all the broth
- Add in the butter, Boursin (or cream cheese), garlic salt, pepper, chives and Parmesan cheese (if using). Stir until well combined
- Enjoy! Goes GREAT with my acclaimed Pot Roast!
