Simple & easy-to-follow

Step 1

Peel and chop the potatoes into small cubes. Add the potato cubes, peeled garlic, ¼ tsp salt, and 1 cup water into the inner pot.

Step 2

Close the Instant Pot. Ensure the sealing ring is in place, and the vent should be in the sealing position. Pressure cook for 6 minutes at high-pressure mode and let the pressure release naturally.

Step 3

When the pressure is released, open the IP lid, reserve ¼ cup of potato starch water, and discard the remaining. Add the potatoes back into the Instant Pot.

Step 4

Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes roughly like below.

Step 5

Now add the onion powder, cream, salt, and ground pepper. Using a spoon or spatula, mash again and combine the potato mix.

Step 6

If the potatoes are dry, then add the reserved water and mash again. Transfer it to a bowl, top it up with butter and garnish with chives and serve warm.
