Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

6 Yukon gold potatoes peeled and quartered
½ cup water
4 ounces cream cheese (½ package) softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Butter to taste

Directions:

Place the quartered potatoes in the pressure cooker with the water. Close the lid and place the valve in the sealing position.

Select manual high pressure and set the cooking time for 5 minutes; it will take about 20 minutes for the pressure to rise and start cooking.

When the time is up, do a quick release of the pressure.

Drain the potatoes and place them back in the pot. Add the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash with a potato masher or an immersion blender until desired consistency is reached.

Taste and add additional salt and pepper as needed.

Serve hot; sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Add butter if desired.
