The Best Mashed Potatoes is a side dish recipe that takes about 20 min from start to finish and serves 8. It calls for 8 ingredients across 5 steps, and is rated easy. A serving works out at around 189 kcal with roughly 3 g of protein. Filed under gluten free, lacto ovo vegetarian, vegetarian and gluten-free.
Secure the lid in place, set the valve to "seal," and cook on manual for 8 minutes. Once the cooking time finishes, let the Instant Pot naturally release pressure for 10 minutes. After that, move the valve to "vent" to release any remaining pressure. (I like to drape a hand towel over the valve just in case it sputters.)
Once the pressure has fully released, carefully remove the inner pot and drain any excess water from the potatoes.
