Instant Pot Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes
These mashed potatoes offer a lighter take on the classic side, prepared quickly in an Instant Pot. Yukon Gold potatoes are steamed under pressure, then mashed with tangy low-fat buttermilk and a drizzle of olive oil instead of butter. The result is a smooth, creamy texture with a subtle richness. This method cuts down the total preparation time to just 19 minutes, making it an efficient choice for a comforting accompaniment to any meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb yukon gold potato, peeled and diced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Method
- Insert a steamer basket into the inner pot and add one cup of water.
- Arrange the diced potatoes in the basket and season them with ¼ teaspoon of the salt.
- Secure the lid, ensuring the vent is set to sealing. Select manual high pressure and set the timer for 9 minutes. Once complete, perform a quick pressure release and cancel the heat.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and transfer them back to the pot. Pour in the buttermilk and olive oil, along with the last ¼ teaspoon of salt. Mash everything together with a potato masher until you achieve a creamy, lump-free consistency. Serve immediately while warm.
