INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • 🥔 1 pound potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
    • 1 leek, white parts only, quartered lengthwise and finely sliced

  • Dairy

    • 🧈 2 tablespoons butter
    • 🥛 ⅓ cup milk, warmed

  • Spices and Seasonings

    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon coarse salt
    • 🧂 Salt to taste

  • Other

    • Water to cover, about 2 cups

STEPS

1

Combine potatoes, leek, and salt in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Add water to cover, about 2 cups. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow about 10 minutes for pressure to build.

2

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Carefully release remaining pressure using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Drain potatoes well and return them to the pot.

3

Select Saute function. Toss potatoes until dried and starting to sizzle, about 3 minutes. Add butter; stir until melted. Add milk. Mash potatoes with the back of a wooden spoon for a rustic mash, or run them through a ricer for a smoother mash. Taste and adjust the salt.

💡 For a smoother mash, use a potato ricer instead of mashing with a spoon.Leeks need to be thoroughly rinsed to remove dirt hidden between their layers.This dish pairs well with roasted meats or a light salad for a balanced meal.
