Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes Recipe Tips
- Using an instant pot makes this recipe quick and easy, but you can also just throw the potatoes in a slow cooker if that’s what you have on hand! (Cook for 4-5 hours on high.)
- Gold potatoes give these mashed potatoes a yummy, buttery texture, but you can definitely substitute russets or even red potatoes if you prefer.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 lb gold potatoes, quartered
- 2/3 cup vegetable broth
- 1.5 cup unsweetened dairy-free milk of choice
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp vegan butter
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Combine the quartered potatoes and vegetable broth in the instant pot and secure the lid in the sealing position. Set the Instant Pot to steam and set the time for 7 minutes.
- While the potatoes cook, heat the dairy-free milk and butter in a small saucepan until just before it simmers. Remove from the heat.
- When the instant pot time is up, use the quick release function. After the quick release finishes, remove the lid carefully.
- Add the heated milk mixture, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and mash until you reach the desired consistency for mashed potatoes. We like a few chunks!
