Ingredients

3 lbs. Russet potatoes (peeled (3 big potatoes, 1 lb. each))
2 cups water
3 sticks unsalted butter (cold, cut into pieces)
1 cup whole milk
3 dashes ground white pepper
3 teaspoons sea salt
chopped parsley (for garnishing)

Steps

1
Place the potatoes in the Instant Pot and add 2 cups of water. If the potatoes are too large, cut each potato in half. Cover the pot, select Manual, and set it to High Pressure for 12 minutes.
2
When it beeps, turn to Quick Release. Once the valve drops, carefully remove the cover. Drain the water completely, but keep the potatoes inside the Instant Pot.
3
Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency. (I prefer tiny potato chunks in my mashed potatoes.)
4
Turn on the Sauté Mode and add the butter, whole milk, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Stir to combine until the mashed potatoes become creamy. Turn off Sauté Mode, garnish the mashed potatoes with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
