Instant Mashed Potatoes Recipes

3 WAYS TO MAKE INSTANT MASHED POTATOES - WIKIHOW

Steps:

• Measure the water, salt, and butter into a pot. Set a one-quart (0.9 liter) pot on the stove and pour 1 cup (240 ml) of water into it. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) of salt and 1 1/2 tablespoons (21 g) of butter or margarine.
• Bring the water to a boil. Turn the heat on to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. The butter should melt and combine with the water.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the milk. If you don't want to use the 1/2 cup (120 ml) of milk, you could stir in chicken stock, vegetable stock, or water.
• Stir in the instant potato flakes and let them stand for 30 seconds. Measure 1 cup (60 g) of instant potato flakes into the pot. Stir the instant potatoes well so they absorb the liquid. Rest the instant potatoes for about 30 seconds to fully hydrate and expand.
• Fluff the instant mashed potatoes and serve them. Take a fork and gently fluff or whip the mashed potatoes. Divide the mashed potatoes into three portions and serve them immediately. You can store leftover instant mashed potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to five days.

INSTANT POT MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Set a rack in the bottom of a 6-quart Instant Pot® and add 3 cups water. Stack the potatoes on the rack. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 15 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, turn off the heat and let the steam release naturally for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, follow the manufacturer's guide for steam release and allow any residual steam to air out. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid; transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Add the half-and-half, butter, sour cream and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher until desired texture and smoothness. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
