Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed Choose medium to large-sized potatoes for creamy texture; russets or yukon golds work best.
  • 1/2 cup butter Unsalted butter allows you to control the seasoning of your dish.
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened Allow it to sit at room temperature for smoother results.
  • 1 cup sour cream Full-fat for the best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup milk Use according to desired creaminess.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Adjust according to your taste preferences.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by placing the cubed potatoes in your Instant Pot. Pour enough water to cover them fully.
  2. Secure the lid and set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 10 minutes.
  3. Once the cooking time is complete, perform a quick release of steam carefully, then drain the potatoes.
Mixing
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained potatoes with butter, cream cheese, sour cream, and milk.
  2. Mash the mixture until creamy and smooth, ensuring all ingredients are perfectly blended.
  3. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
Slow Cooker Method (optional)
  1. For a slow cooker method, combine all ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on low for about 4 hours or until heated through.

Notes

Serve immediately for best results; they tend to firm up as they cool. Consider adding shredded cheddar cheese during mashing for an extra cheesy flavor that everyone will love.
