Mashed Potatoes – Instant Pot

Recipe link

Oh, wow.  I know mashed potatoes are one of those straight-forward, basic recipes, but much like hard-boiled eggs, I’ve always been intimidated by these.  Until…

These Instant Pot mashed potatoes are divine!  The peeling is a bit time-consuming, but other than that, these are crazy easy and crazy good.  To be honest, we have been out of sour cream the last couple times we made these and substituted with cream cheese…so, I’m sure that’s ramped up the awesome factor quite a bit.  We also add a bit of rosemary and thyme.  Maybe 1/2 tsp of rosemary and 1/4 of thyme?  (That’s a guess.)

I know potatoes aren’t the height of healthy eating, but sometimes on a random humdrum day, these can really make a fun snack or addition to a meal.  I always feel like it’s Thanksgiving when I eat these, because that’s just how infrequently I used to have mashed potatoes.  This recipe is changing that very rapidly though…
