Equipment

  • 1 InstaPot

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs Russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 2 tsp salt
  • cup buttermilk, can substitute 1/2 heavy cream and 1/2 milk
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup butter
  • ¼ cup onions, diced, small
  • 2 toes garlic, minced
  • pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Add peeled and quartered potatoes to InstaPot.
  • Cover potatoes with salted water (1-2 tsp salt)
  • Cover and cook on high pressure 10 minutes, quick release to check the potatoes are soft. They are done when a sharp knife can easily be inserted through the potato.
  • While potatoes are cooking, sauté onions in 2 tbsp of butter. Let onions and butter sauté until browned, adding in garlic toward the end. Do not add the garlic at the beginning or it will burn.
  • Add buttermilk (or half and half, or half heavy cream and half milk), sour cream, butter, and sautéed onion and garlic. Mash until well mixed.
  • Add in salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Truly, the sour cream, butter, buttermilk, and other ingredients are more to taste than by actual measurements.
