- 3 lbs Russet Potatoes peeled, quartered
- 1/3 cup Milk
- 1/3 cup Sour Cream
- 3 Tbsp. Butter
- Salt
- Pepper
Add quartered potatoes to the inner pot of your Instant Pot. Cover with enough water to cover them. Season water with salt.
Cover and seal your instant pot lid. Set to cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
Quick release and be sure your potatoes are done by inserting a knife to make sure they are soft.
Drain the water, leaving about 1/4 cup of water with the potatoes. Add the milk, sour cream, butter, salt and pepper to the potatoes.
Use a potato masher to mash potatoes. If they are too thick, add a splash of milk at a time until it reaches desired consistency.
Optional: garnish with chopped parsley or chives.
