Make these Easy And Creamy Mashed Potatoes to serve with all of your meals! All you need are 5 ingredients and less than 30 minutes to whip them up. Instant Pot and crockpot instructions included.
fresh herbs (chives or parsley)chopped for garnish
Instructions
Place peeled potatoes in a large pot with 1 tablespoon of salt. Add water so it’s covering potatoes by approximately 4-5 inches.
Bring to a boil over high heat. Once it's boiling, reduce the heat so it’s at a rapid simmer. Cook for approximately 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are very soft and falling apart when pierced with a fork.
Drain well, then return to the pot.
Add the butter and the cream then mash until very smooth. Add a little extra cream as needed to loosen up the mash.
Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle over some extra melted butter. Sprinkle with some fresh chives or herbs of choice, and serve!
Notes
Instant Pot Instructions:
Peel and chop the potatoes first, then place them in the Instant Pot with water and salt.
Lock the lid in place and set the valve to seal.
Cook on manual pressure for 8 minutes.
Once they’re done, quick release the pressure and drain the potatoes.
Place them back in the pot with the rest of the ingredients and mash until smooth.
Crockpot instructions:
Again, peel and chop the potatoes into chunks before placing them in the bowl of a slow cooker.
Instead of water, cover the potatoes in vegetable or chicken stock (so they’re extra flavorful instead of waterlogged).
Cover with a lid and cook on High for 3 to 4 hours (or until soft).
Add the rest of the ingredients into the pot when they’re done and mash until smooth.
