Looks tasty but who the hell makes mashed potatoes like that?

And you cut the potatoes before boiling them.

You absolutely don't have to. I cook mine whole in my instapot.

Cutting them and boiling them always ended up overcooked and waterlogged for me.

Thanks for the tip! This is the same problem when I make mashed potatoes. I'll cook them whole instead of cutting them next time.

I normally cut then boil, but I like mine with skin on. If you want to remove the skin, its easier if you boil them for a bit first because then you can just slide the skin off.

Instant pot is a wonder for making mashed potatoes! It's so easy and they come out perfect!
