Instructions
Wash, peel and cube potatoes. Put potatoes in Instant Pot {6 Quart} and cover with water until potatoes with 1 inch of water. Add in salt. Close and lock lid. Turn vent to closed. Set on Manual High for 8 minutes.
When cooking time is complete. Quick release (manually open to release pressure) the valve. I like to place a damp cloth over mine.
Drain water off potatoes in a collander. Add back into Instant Pot.
Add butter, heavy cream, and pepper, if desired, to potatoes. Beat with a hand mixer or potato masher (I use electric hand mixer). Taste and adjust salt if needed.
Notes
*I start with 1 cup of cream and add to that until the potatoes are the consistancy desired. ** If you want to make these on the stove top, boil potatoes until fork tender. Usually about 45 minutes.
