Ingredients

  • 1.25 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 2 cubes chicken bouillon
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Steps

  1. Peel potatoes if desired, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Place into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) with water and bouillon cubes. Select Sauté function and cook for 4 minutes.
  2. Stir potatoes and water and break up bouillon cubes. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  3. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method. Remove the pot and carefully drain off most of the liquid.
  4. Add sour cream, butter, and milk. Gently mash with a potato masher to reach your desired consistency.
