Ingredients
- 5 pounds of Russet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons of butter unsalted at room temp
- 2 large minced garlic cloves
- Fine Kosher salt
- A cup whole milk, hot
- Cream cheese,4 ounces at room temperature
Directions
1. Cut the potatoes into quarter pieces after peeling and washing them. Add 1.5 cups(375 ml) cold water to the instant pot, add the garlic and salt 1 tablespoon in the water. Put the steamer rack inside the instant pot. Place potatoes over it. Pressure cook after sealing for 8 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for around 2 or 3 minutes, then quickly release pressure on the venting mode. After all pressure is released, very carefully open the lid.
2. Carefully discard the water in instant pot.Take the hot potatoes out in a bowl, mash them with a potato masher or a food mill.
3. Now start preparing the melted butter mix. Warm up the butter, 2 teaspoons salt and milk either in a saucepan or in a microwave till the butter gets just melted ( avoid boiling the milk.) Set it aside until we need it.
4. Now mix everything together. Pour half of melted butter mix on the mashed potatoes, and mix it up with any spoon or spatula till the potatoes have absorbed all the liquid. Then repeat this process with the remaining butter mix , add the cream cheese, mix until well combined but avoid over-mixing. You can add little more milk until desired consistency is reached.

6. Serve it warm. Garnish with any toppings of your choice.
