How to make?
Ingredients
1 cup water
3 to 3 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1-inch thick
4 cloves garlic, peeled
3/4 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh chives or parsley, for garnish
Directions
Place a steamer basket in the bottom of your electric pressure cooker and add 1 cup of water. Add the sliced potatoes and peeled garlic cloves on top of the steamer basket.
Secure the lid on your pressure cooker and make sure the pressure release valve is set to its “sealing” position. Select the “Steam” or “Manual” setting and set the cooking time to 4 minutes at high pressure. .
When the cooking program ends, perform a quick release by moving the pressure release valve to its “venting” position.
Use heatproof mitts to remove the steamer basket from the pot. Lift out the inner pot and pour out the water, then return the potatoes to the inner pot of the pressure cooker .
Add the milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Use a potato masher to work the ingredients into the potatoes, mashing until the potatoes are mashed as much as you like them. Add more milk or butter if you like. Taste the potatoes for seasoning, and add more salt and/or pepper if needed.
Spoon the potatoes into a serving bowl and sprinkle the chopped chives on top. Serve hot.
