Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
- 1 1/2 Cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 Cup Milk or Heavy Cream, warmed
- 1/3 Cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese

- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions
- Place the cut potatoes, water, and 1 teaspoon of salt in the instant pot. Turn the valve to seal and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
- When it’s done cooking, quick-release the pressure.
- Open the lid and carefully drain the water, reserving about 1/4 cup in the pot.
- Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes or for creamier potatoes use a hand mixer.
- Turn the instant pot to Keep Warm.
- Add the milk, parmesan cheese, butter, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and sour cream. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Serve immediately or keep warm until ready to serve.
Notes
To keep warm: Leave the prepared mashed potatoes in the instant pot with the lid on the keep-warm setting. Stir every 30 minutes. If they are too stiff when you’re ready to serve, stir in a couple of tablespoons of milk.
