A little something different from traditional mashed potatoes, for the Instant Pot. The leeks add a very mild oniony flavor. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 1 leek, white parts only, quartered lengthwise and finely sliced

  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt

  • water to cover

  • ⅓ cup milk, warmed

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • salt to taste

Directions

  1. Combine potatoes, leek, and salt in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Add water to cover, about 2 cups. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow about 10 minutes for pressure to build.

  2. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Carefully release remaining pressure using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Drain potatoes well and return them to the pot.

  3. Select Saute function. Toss potatoes until dried and starting to sizzle, about 3 minutes. Add butter; stir until melted. Add milk. Mash potatoes with the back of a wooden spoon for a rustic mash, or run them through a ricer for a smoother mash. Taste and adjust the salt.

Cook’s Note

I don't use a traditional potato masher in my Instant Pot as I don't want to scratch it.

This recipe can easily be doubled - the cooking time does not change.
