Instant Pot Garlic Mashed Yukon Gold Potatoes

Instant Pot Garlic Mashed Yukon Gold Potatoes are rich, creamy, and deeply flavorful thanks to chicken stock and a hit of fresh garlic. Butter and cream cheese melt in for a smooth, tangy finish without using milk, making this mash perfect alongside roasted meats or holiday mains. Serve it on busy weeknights or as a comforting side for special gatherings.

  1. 1

    Place the potatoes in a steamer basket set inside a multi-functional electric pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot). Pour in the chicken stock and lock the lid. Choose high pressure per the manufacturer's directions; set the timer for 9 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build.

  2. 2

    Carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method per the manufacturer's directions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and lift off the lid.

  3. 3

    Carefully take the sliced potatoes out of the steamer basket; drain and save the remaining stock.

  4. 4

    Add the butter and garlic to the empty pressure cooker and select the Saute function. Cook, stirring, for 90 seconds. Return the potatoes to the pot and mash with the cream cheese.
