Equipment
- 1 Instant Pot
- 1 Potato Masher
Ingredients
- 1 Yukon gold potatoes, small bag or desired amount
- 2 cups water, for cooking
- 1-2 cups plant based milk
- salt and pepper to taste, optional
Instructions
- Setup the Instant Pot by placing the steamer basket in the bottom of the cooking container.
- Add the desired about of potatoes to the steamer basket inside the pot.
- Next add 2 cups of water to the Instant Pot.
- Set the Instant Pot to pressure cook for 20 minutes.
- Once cooked, release the steam from the Instant Pot. Remove the instant lid and allow to sit for a few minutes to cool down.
- Remove the cooking container from the Instant Pot. Remove the steamer basket holding the potatoes from the pot. Do this with caution as it may still be very hot.
- Remove the potatoes from the steam basket and place the potatoes back in the Instant Pot container or a bowl for mashing.
- Using the potato masher, mash the potatoes until no large clumps remain.

- Add the salt and pepper, if desired.
- Enjoy!
