Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes Recipe
Simple Instant Pot mashed potatoes with butter and Greek yogurt for a creamy side dish that cooks fast and frees up stove space.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 Pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 cups water or enough to cover potatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup Danish Creamery Salted Butter plus more for serving
- ½ cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- black pepper for serving
Instructions
- Place the peeled and sliced potatoes into an instant pot.
- Cover with water and season with salt. Place the lid on the instant pot and set the valve to seal.
- Cook on manual pressure for 8 minutes. When the timer goes off, turn the instant pot off, and quick release the pressure from the pot.
- Drain the potatoes and return to the instant pot. Save some of the liquid in case you’d like to thin out the mashed potatoes.
- While the potatoes are still warm, add the butter, Greek yogurt and garlic powder. Mash until smooth to your desired consistency. Add some of the reserved cooking water if needed to make it smoother.
- Serve with a dab of extra butter and freshly cracked black pepper, if desired.

Notes
My Top Tip: Keep some liquid in the instant pot after cooking. If you want to reduce the use of Greek yogurt or milk in the mashed potatoes, that liquid can be used to blend the potatoes. It helps to make them smoother!
Storage: Store any leftover mashed potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. When you're ready to eat, reheat gently in the microwave until warmed through, with a splash of milk to keep them moist.
Freezing: To freeze individual portions of your mashed potatoes, use a measuring cup to dole out 1-cup portions and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Set the pan in in the freezer for a few hours until your potato servings are frozen, then transfer the individual portions to a large freezer bag and store for up to 3 months. When you're ready to eat, just thaw your potatoes in the fridge overnight before reheating in the microwave.
