Best Ways to Make Potatoes in the Instant Pot and Slow Cooker

Mashed Potatoes

I don’t remember the last time I made mashed potatoes on the stove! The Instant Pot and slow cooker are the only way I make mashed potatoes these days. No boiling over. Just punch a few buttons and you’re on your way to the creamiest most delicious mashed potatoes ever. Mash the potatoes directly in the Instant Pot liner or the crock and serve.

    Love your emails and recipes and have tried a few — I’ve bookmarked many for use later. Just letting you know: one of your links is broken, the one for Mealthy add-on. It’s just below the picture of the baked potatoes in the Instant Pot. https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/instant-pot-baked-potatoes/

    Last March when COVID 19 began spreading we began isolating. This meant that I was suddenly cooking every day. Since Hubby ( age 76)& I (age 73) enjoy eating out this was quite a change. II had gotten a 6 quart IP a few months before and decided this was the time to learn how to cook a different way.
    I have now been following you on the internet for 11 months. I use the IP 3 – 4 times a week. I have had great success with 98% of your recipe’s and the few problems that I have had were probably my fault.
    I have copied many of your recipes and am sharing them with my 2 daughters now that they also have IP’s.
    Thank you so much for teaching us this new way of cooking and making it easier to understand.

    Karen, love your site, or i used to. Recently too, too many ads right in thre recipe itself keep me from enjoying your site. Is there anything you can do, or me on my end, to keep as to a minimum?
    Will I get an email if you answer my comment? I have the box checked below.
