• porciones: 8 servings
• tiempo total: 20 minutes

Ingredientes

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter

1 1/2 cups water

4 pounds medium russet potatoes

2 cups half-and-half or whole milk

2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed

Freshly ground black pepper (optional)

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

3 tablespoons half-and-half or whole milk

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter

Instrucciones

Step 1

Let 1 stick unsalted butter sit at room temperature until softened. Meanwhile, cook the potatoes. Set a wire rack in a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker. Add 1 1/2 cups water. Peel 4 pounds medium russet potatoes and place the potatoes on the rack in an even layer. Lock the lid on and make sure the valve is set to seal. Set to cook for 20 minutes under HIGH pressure.

Step 2

When the cook time is up, let the pressure naturally release. Meanwhile, warm 2 cups half-and-half or whole milk in the microwave or stovetop until warm to the touch.

Step 3

Open the pressure cooker. If using a potato masher, transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and mash until desired consistency. If using a food mill or ricer, process the potatoes through the food mill or ricer into a large bowl.

Step 4

Add the half-and-half or milk and butter to the potatoes. Fold to combine, or whip together with a stand mixer (use the paddle attachment) or electric hand mixer on the lowest speed. (Do not use an immersion blender or food processor.) Add 2 teaspoons kosher salt and black pepper if desired, and stir to combine. Taste and season with more kosher salt and black pepper as needed.

Step 5

To keep the mashed potatoes warm, wash the insert of the pressure cooker to remove any cooking starch and dry. Return the insert to the pressure cooker and coat the bottom and sides of the insert with 1 tablespoon unsalted butter. Add 3 tablespoons half-and-half or milk. Spoon in the warm mashed potatoes but don't stir. Cover with a glass lid or pressure cooker lid. If using the pressure cooker lid, be sure to turn the sealing valve to open. Turn on the "keep warm" setting. Gently stir the potatoes every 20 to 30 minutes to prevent them from sticking to the pot.

Step 6

When ready to serve, spoon the mashed potatoes into a serving dish and top with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter if desired.
