Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes
This is a great basic mashed potatoes recipe made in the Instant Pot. It is flavorful enough to eat on it's own, but also neutral enough that it is perfect for being smothered with gravy or sauce from your main dish. These Instant Pot mashed potatoes are a staple not only at holidays, but weekly at our home.
