Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes with Leeks
Ingredients
  • 1 pound potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 leek, white parts only, quartered lengthwise and finely sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
  • water to cover
  • 1/3 cup milk, warmed
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • salt to taste
Instructions
1
Combine diced potatoes, sliced leeks, and a pinch of salt in the pressure cooker. Add enough water to cover the ingredients, approximately 2 cups. Securely close and lock the lid of the cooker. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines to set the pressure level to high, and schedule a 10-minute cooking time. Allow about 10 minutes for the pressure to build up.
2
Release the built-up pressure using the natural-release method as per the manufacturer's instructions, taking around 10 minutes. Next, use the quick-release method to release any remaining pressure, which should take approximately 5 minutes. Once unlocked, carefully remove the lid of the cooker.
3
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Switch the pressure cooker to its Saute function. Toss the potatoes until they are dry and start to sizzle, approximately 3 minutes. Add a pat of butter; stir until it melts. Introduce milk into the mixture and mash the potatoes using a wooden spoon for a rustic texture, or pass them through a ricer for a smoother consistency. Season the potatoes with salt to taste.
