• Push the quick release button. One the pressure has full released remove the lid. Carefully remove the trivet from the instant pot. Add the butter and 3/4 cup of milk. Mash to desired consistency. If you like them super smooth than use a hand held mixer. If the potatoes are too thick simply add a little more milk.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired sprinkle with parsley or chives.
• NOTES For best results use a combination of Russet Potatoes and Yukon Gold and get the best of both worlds. You get lighter fluffier texture from the Russets and buttery creaminess from the Yukon Golds. I like the flavor that the chicken broth brings to the dish however if you are a vegetarian you can simply use water. Don't skimp on the butter. Use real sweet cream butter. If the potatoes are too thick simply add a little more milk or low sodium chicken broth. Add it very slowly though as you can always add more but you can't take it back. Beat with a handheld masher for a slightly chunky finish or with a electric mixer for a smooth and creamy texture. You can garnish with any fresh or dried herbs. Fresh chopped thyme and rosemary are always a great choice if you grow them or they are readily available. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freeze mashed potatoes in a sturdy airtight container for up to 1 month.

Season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
