Pressure Cooker Perfectly Mashed Potatoes

Share This Recipe

The key to perfectly mashed potatoes is to mash as little as possible. Cooking your potatoes in a pressure cooker will get just the right texture so you don't need to work too hard to get them mashed and ruin the consistency. Using an immersion blender fitted with a whisk attachment to mash your potatoes is such a great trick to help speed up the process. It's important to keep a close eye and not over-whisk the potatoes, however, as they'll quickly end up glue-y.

Mealthy Tip

This recipe works for Yukon gold potatoes as well with delicious results. To get a little fancier, try sauteing some leeks and mashing them in with the potatoes. No immersion blender? No problem! Use a hand mixer -- be careful not to over mix; you'll get gluey potatoes.

Caro Hodgin says:

these are ALMOST perfect. i added 3 garlic cloves in with the potatoes and they get all squishy and soft and perfectly cooked. mash them right in with the potatoes.

Jo Lauer says:

Every time I make potatoes they end up being "gluey" and I could never figure out why. So glad I followed the instructions and did not over blend. This was also my first time using the immersion blender on potatoes. They turned out perfect! I also added a little garlic for flavor.

Gina Anastasia says:

Chives, melted butter, bacon bits, and cheese were the toppings I used for these delicious, perfect mashed potatoes. Can't wait to make another batch. Way easier than boiling in a pot on the stove, and having to stand there and monitor it so it doesn't boil over. I can even get my kids to help because it's that easy. I used a hand mixer and they were nice and fluffy.

Tom McCarty says:

I don’t want to be a bad sport but my tip is either way you cook the potatoes Using a ricer beats everything else. I add roasted garlic gloves and don’t need butter It’s so nice, maybe Mealthy can produce one. No more gluey results ever.

Deborah Lehr says:

I made this last night and it was so good! I used my Bamax immersion blender and they turned out so creamy. I will definitely be making this again.
