What do you serve with mashed potatoes?

Anything you want, really. Pair the Instant Pot mashed potatoes with vegan turkey and cranberry sauce during the holidays, with vegan pot pie for comforting weeknight dinners, or on their own with sesame seeds, green onions, and mushroom gravy on top.

Do you have to peel the potatoes?

Peeled potatoes become creamier and have a smoother texture compared to those with the peel on. However, if you like the texture potato peels add or you’re running low on time, you can leave them intact.

Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes (No Drain)

Description

No drain Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes are the easiest, creamiest side dish you’ll ever try. Cooked in just one pot and seasoned with sesame oil and vegan butter, they turn out fluffy, creamy, and soft every time!

Ingredients

Scale

3 lbs yukon gold potatoes*
1 cup vegan chicken broth (1 to 2 teaspoons better than bouillon no chicken base + water) or good quality vegetable broth
1 and 1/2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons vegan butter
4 to 5 cloves of garlic, finely chopped or minced
1/2 to 1 cup unsweetened soy milk plus more if needed*

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Peel potatoes and cut into 6ths and add to your 6 quart instant pot with the broth.
Close and lock the lid and set the valve to ‘sealing’ position. Set the pressure cook button to high pressure for 9 minutes.
While potatoes are cooking add the sesame oil, butter and garlic to a small microwave safe bowl (I use a small ramekin) cook for one minute and set aside.
When time is up for the instant pot carefully turn the valve to ‘venting’ for a quick release. Once the pin has dropped, press cancel. Remove the lid, do not drain the broth. Stir in the milk, garlic butter mixture and salt and pepper. Mash potatoes with a potato masher until fluffy. Taste and adjust seasonings, add more salt, milk, butter etc.. if needed.
Serve mashed potatoes topped with sesame seeds, green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil if desired. Gravy is always recommended 🙂 Enjoy! For photos, tips, suggestions and more see above post.

Notes

Salt: in addition to salt add a drizzle of tamari or soy sauce for even more umami!
