Cheesy Mashed Potatoes are creamy and delicious and very decadent. First steamed in the Instant Pot and then baked in the oven.

Pressure Cooker Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Decadent and creamy is the only way to describe this mashed potato dish.

I’ve not met a potato that I did not like. I’ve taken Pioneer Woman’s wonderful recipe and adapted it for the Pressure Cooker.

The Pressure Cooker Creamy Mashed Potatoes are first steamed in the Pressure Cooker and then they get a good mashing. Butter and cream cheese are just two of  the decadent ingredients which help to make the potatoes very creamy and delicious.

If you do not own a Pressure Cooker, just cook the potatoes on the stove.

Peel and quarter the potatoes.

Steaming potatoes for making Mashed Potatoes are the only way to go. Boiling Potatoes in water, gives them a mealy texture.

Add water to the bottom of your Pressure Cooker cooing pot and place the Quartered Potatoes in a basket on a Trivet.

Mash up the Potatoes really well.

My homemade house seasoning, started out as a straight up copycat of Lawry’s, but I have made an adjustment and now like it even better. I always have my homemade house seasoning on hand.

I find it cheaper to make my own homemade house seasoning and I know it is always fresh.

Grease your cast iron skillet and add the Potato mixture to the cast iron skillet.

As I cook exclusively in cast iron, I used my cast iron skillet for baking the potatoes, but if you don’t have one, just use a baking/casserole dish.

Enjoy!

The potatoes pair especially well with my Classic Pot Roast.

Author: Jill Selkowitz

Ingredients

  • ½ stick Butter softened
  • 1 1/4 pounds Potatoes peeled and cut into quarters
  • 2 ounces Cream Cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 large Egg whisked until frothy
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter for topping

Tools

  • 1 Stainless Steel Trivet
  • 1.5 quart Casserole Dish
  • or 8 inch Cast Iron Skillet
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place Potato chunks into a bowl of water and let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Add 1.5 cups of water to Pressure Cooker cooking pot and place a trivet or steamer basket inside.  Add potatoes to the trivet/steamer basket.
  • Lock on lid and close Pressure Valve.  Cook on High Pressure for 4 minutes.  When Beep is heard, release all pressure.
  • Place potatoes into a large bowl and mash.  Add Butter, Cream Cheese, Heavy Cream, Egg (if using) and all Seasonings.  Mash until combined.
  • Add Mashed Potatoes to Buttered Casserole Dish and top with pieces of Butter.  Place Casserole Dish into pressure cooker on top of trivet.
  • Lock on lid and close Pressure Valve. Cook on High Pressure for 7 minutes. When Beep is heard, release all pressure.

Oven Methold

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  Butter 8 inch cast iron skillet or 4 quart baking dish.  Spread the potatoes in the prepared baking dish.  Place pieces of Butter over the top of the potatoes.  Bake in oven for 25 minutes.

Notes

Soaking the Potatoes before cooking, will release much of the starch and make for a fluffier potato.
The added egg will allow the potatoes to rise a bit and give a soufflé like texture.
Serve with Pot Roast or Beef Stew.

    Hi Jill, Do you think this recipe would work instead of mashed potatoes on the Shepards Pie?

    I want to know how long do I cook about 7 bakers potatoes, how much water do I add. I donot have a basket or a trivia where can I get one for 8 quart Instant pot?
