Description
“Smashed” potatoes made in the Instant Pot flavored with lots of garlic!
Ingredients
- 2.5 lb red potatoes, washed and quartered
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2–3/4 cup whole milk
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic pepper blend
- kosher salt to taste
- fresh parsley, optional
Instructions
- Place potatoes and water in Instant Pot (or other pressure cooker) and set valve to seal. Choose ‘manual’ and cook on ‘high pressure’ for 12 minutes and then do a ‘quick release’.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter, 1/2 cup milk and garlic over low heat on the stove top.
- Drain the potatoes. Add the milk/butter mixture and use a handheld “smasher” to break up potatoes and incorporate the milk and butter. You may need the other 1/4 cup of milk. Add it gradually to get desired consistency. You want potatoes to be creamy but not soupy. Stir in the garlic pepper blend and kosher salt to taste.
- Serve warm. Top with fresh parsley garnish is desired.
