Herb & garlic Instant Pot mashed potatoes are simple to prepare and can be made ahead and kept warm in the Instant Pot. Perfect for a holiday feast.
Mashed potatoes are always a staple at our Thanksgiving and Christmas table, because they are such a crowd pleaser (and you have to have at least one thing the kids won’t fight you on, right?).
I’ve been making my mashed potatoes in the Instant Pot for the last 2 years and it’s about time I share my Instant Pot mashed potatoes recipe with you! I usually change up the recipe every time I make these mashed potatoes, so I’m adding a ton of options for you to make these your own.
You might notice this recipe is a little on the ‘not so healthy’ side, and that’s because it’s what we serve for a holiday feast! I’ve included some notes in the recipe with ways you can lighten this up for an every day meal.
