1 cup chicken broth (low sodium) or 1 cup water
1 teaspoon of sea salt, or to taste
3/4 cup warm milk, or more as desired
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted or softened
1 tbsp chives or parsley (optional).
Directions
- In the instant pot basin, place the trivet. 1 cup water or chicken broth, plus 1 teaspoon salt
- Peel the potatoes and quarter them (big enough to not go under the trivet) (about 1-inch thickness).
- Cook on manual high pressure for 10 minutes with a quick release after covering with lid and setting valve to’sealing’ position.
- Remove the lid and the trivet with tongs or an oven mitt after the pressure has been released. Don’t let the water run dry.
- Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes, then add the warm milk to achieve the required consistency.
- Finally, stir in the softened butter until completely combined.
- Blend the potatoes with an electric hand mixer until no lumps remain for a smoother consistency. If desired, season with extra salt to taste.
