Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. russet potatoes ($1.50)
  • 1 cup chicken broth ($0.13)
  • 1/2 Tbsp seasoning* ($0.15)
  • 3 Tbsp butter ($0.39)

Instructions 

  • Peel and cube the potatoes (about 1-inch cubes). Place them in the Instant Pot along with the chicken broth and seasoning of your choice (see notes for what I used).
  • Close the Instant Pot lid, close the steam valve, and select the "Steam" option. The machine will auto-set to 10 minutes. Let the machine come up to pressure, cook for 10 minutes, then naturally release pressure.
  • Once the pressure has released, open the pot and mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Add the butter and stir or mash into the potatoes until melted. Taste and adjust the salt or seasoning as you see fit.

Notes

*I used the "Onion Salt" seasoning blend from Trader Joes. It's not very salty, despite the name, but added a wonderful onion and chive flavor to the potatoes.
