Ingredients

  • 3-5 pounds russet, Yukon gold, or red potatoes
  • 1/4 -1/3 cup vegan butter or ghee or regular butter if you aren't dairy free
  • 1-2 cups chicken broth or veggie broth for vegan
  • Garlic optional
  • Salt & pepper

Instructions

Instant Pot

  •  Peel and cut 3-5lbs of russet, Yukon gold, or red potatoes into 1 inch chunks.  If you want to leave the peel on, don't use russet potatoes. 
  • Add 1 cup of broth and quartered potatoes to your instant pot and sprinkle with ½ tsp of salt.  Add 1-2 cloves of garlic, if desired. Lock lid and set on manual for 10 minutes. 
  • After cook time, do a natural release and remove lid.  
  • Do not drain potatoes - just mash right in the pot, adding ¼-⅓ cup of vegan butter or ghee.  If necessary, add in some additional broth. Taste and add additional salt if desired. 

Stovetop

  • Peel and cut 3-5 pounds of potatoes into quarters or small chunks. Fill a large pot with cold water and add peeled potatoes.  
  • Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until fork tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain and return the cooked potatoes to the pot. Add in 1/2 cup of chicken broth, salt, butter, and garlic if using.
  • Mash right in the pot until smooth.  If necessary, add in some additional broth. Taste and add additional salt, pepper, and fresh herbs, if desired (we love it with just butter and salt!).  Enjoy the best mashed potatoes!
