Servings: 8
Equipment
- 1 pressure cooker
- 1 potato masher
Ingredients
- 6 potatoes skin removed, or partially and cut into chunks
- 1/2 c chicken broth or water
Mashed Potato Add Ins
- 1/2 stick butter
- 1/2 c milk more if you want them smoother
- 1/4 c sour cream
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 2 tbsp bacon bits optional
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Skin your potatoes and dice them into about 8 pcs per medium sized potato. I like red potatoes but you could use baking potatoes too.
- Add diced potatoes and chicken broth or water into your pressure cooker. If you want to add 5 uncooked brats/sausages to the top of your potatoes do so now. Close lid and steam valve. Set to high pressure for 6 minutes.
- When done allow to naturally release pressure for 3 minutes, then do a quick release and lift lid carefully.
- You can leave potatoes in your pot to mash as long as your masher isn't metal (don't want to scratch it). NO need to drain broth, leave that in for a bit of liquid. Now add your add ins of choice. We add butter into the pot and close lid so it can melt.
- Add all other ingredients and mash until smooth. (do not overmash or they will become gummy)
- Add in more milk to thin out to the consistency you want. Taste, adjust seasonings.
