Add Yukon Gold potatoes, water, and garlic base to the pot. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure; set timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Release pressure using the natural-release method, about 15 minutes. Carefully release remaining pressure with the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock lid and mash potatoes against the pot side, leaving chunky bits. Stir in bacon-onion mixture and half-and-half.
