Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • potato masher

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lb Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 4 tbsp Butter
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream, warmed
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt (to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Chives, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Place the cubed potatoes into the Instant Pot. Pour in the chicken broth and water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
  • Lock the lid, set the valve to Sealing, and cook on High Pressure for 8 minutes.
  • Perform a quick release by carefully turning the valve to Venting, keeping hands and face clear of the steam. Remove the lid once the pin drops.
  • Drain the liquid from the pot, leaving the potatoes inside. Add the butter and let it melt over the hot potatoes.
  • Mash the potatoes to your desired consistency using a potato masher. For creamier potatoes, mash more thoroughly.
  • Stir in the warmed heavy cream, sour cream, garlic powder, remaining salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Serve topped with fresh chives and an extra pat of butter.
