Vegan Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes

Total time40 min

Prep time10 min

Cook time20 min

Yukon Gold potatoes cook down fast under pressure, turning fork-tender in just minutes and ready to mash into something velvety smooth. A quick pressure release means less time waiting and more time getting that fluffy texture just right, with no need to babysit a pot on the stove. Salt and black pepper season things simply, letting the natural buttery flavor of the Yukon Golds shine through on their own. A scatter of fresh chives on top adds a pop of color and a mild onion bite that plays well against the creamy base. This one comes together with minimal cleanup and maximum comfort-food payoff, making it an easy side to fold into a vegan spread any night of the week.

1 cup water
1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
4 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
½ cup heavy cream or whole milk, warmed
Chef's tip
Use unsweetened dairy-free heavy cream in cooked sauces, soups, and ganache. For whipped uses, choose a product labeled whippable.
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened oat milk, measured 1:1. It works well in drinks, batters, sauces, and soups; avoid it where milk sets the texture, like custards, puddings, and frozen desserts.
¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste

For serving

2 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced (optional)
