No pictures for the blog post this week, I'm afraid! But I wanted to get this blogged anyway, tonight, because I've got a new steamer basket for the Instapot and it worked bea-YOU-ti-fully for mashed potatoes!
INSTAPOT MASHED POTATOES
3lbs "waxy" potatoes (red or Yukon gold)
Water, to cover potatoes
Broth base or bouillon, optional
1/2 - 3/4C milk
Butter or margarine, to taste
Clean the potatoes and cut them into about 2" chunks. Add to the steamer basket inside the Instapot; add enough water to cover the potatoes. I like to add broth base to mine, too, I think it makes for more flavorful potatoes.
Properly close the lid and the exhaust. Start cooking under 'Pressure Cook' mode on high pressure for 10 minutes.
When cooking is done, release the pressure before opening the lid.
Pull the steamer basket out of the Instapot to drain. Add the butter and milk; mash with a hand potato masher or a handheld mixer.
