Equipment

Ingredients

  • 8 potatoes peeled, cut in half
  • chicken broth or water
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or milk
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3 tablespoons garlic more or less to taste
  • fresh herbs optional

Instructions

  • Peel and cut potatoes into halves or quarters if they are larger. Place in the Instant Pot liner.
  • Pour just enough chicken to fill the instant pot liner with 1 inch of liquid. It’s fine if an inch or so of the potatoes are sticking out of the water. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Turn on the Instant Pot to the manual setting and cook for 12 minutes. Do a quick release as soon as the time is up.
  • If there is a lot of liquid left in the pot, you can drain the potatoes. I rarely have enough liquid to drain off, but you may depending on how much you added.
    Add the butter, more salt, and pepper, sour cream, heavy cream (or milk), and garlic. Mash until smooth and creamy. Serve with fresh herbs and enjoy!
    Serve and enjoy!
