    These Instant Pot mashed potatoes are rich and creamy with a bold flavor! 

    Pressure Cooker Mashed Potatoes | The Foodie Eats

    I know, I know... Who needs another recipe for pressure cooker mashed potatoes? But trust me on this one. These are actually different - and in the best way! They have a rich, creamy texture (I know, nothing new) and a bold flavor!

    Most mashed potatoes use a combination of a few different ingredients: butter, milk, sour cream, and garlic. Well, we've changed it up just a bit. We're using evaporated milk instead of regular milk. And we've added onion powder for an unexpected kick. And we love it! The potatoes are perfect with other highly seasoned dishes - like steak or short ribs!

    Why Use Evaporated Milk?

    The purpose of the evaporated milk (usually used in baking) is simple: the flavor. Sure, you can absolutely use any milk in pressure cooker mashed potatoes. So the only reason to choose any over another is the flavor, right?

    My mom always used evaporated in her baked mac and cheese, which was my favorite food for most of my life. So I must've developed a taste for it over the years because now I use it every chance I get. Lol... But it really is delicious, so you should try it too!

    The Process
