- Use a hand mixer on low to mash them, but be careful not to over-mix. Add in ½ a stick of butter 1 tablespoon at a time while continuing to blend.

- Add even more flavor to your potatoes by including chopped green onions and additional butter!
- No need to cut your potatoes. After peeling, you can cook them whole in the Instant Pot. That’s part of what makes this recipe so convenient!
- Be careful not to over-mix. If you mix them on too high of a speed or for too long, they will come out gluey! Mix gently.
