Ingredients
2poundsyukon goldwashed and cut into halves or quarters
1cupchicken broth
4ouncescream cheesecut into chunks
salt and black pepperto taste
Instructions
Cut and wash potatoes before starting.Place potatoes and broth in Instant Pot®. Season with salt and black pepper.
Add the lid and set the pressure valve to the seal position. Set cook time to 8 minutes on high. When 8 minutes has completed, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. This just means let it sit for 10 minutes. Then do a quick release by venting the top to release any remaining pressure.
Carefully open lid (remember there will be heat and steam). Add the cream cheese, cut into chunks so it integrates nice and easy.Mash the potato mixture with a potato masher until blended. You can leave it slightly chunky for a rustic feel, or make it completely smooth. Your choice!
Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Substitutions
Vegetable broth may be substituted for the chicken broth.Sour cream or low fat cream cheese can be used in place of cream cheese.To freeze mashed potatoes, I like to put them in quart sized freezer bags to thaw for weeknight dinners, or gallon sized freezer bags for larger portions.Be sure to remove any excess air to prevent freezer burn. Also, it helps if you lay them flat to freeze, both for storage and for thawing.
