Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
Instant Pot Instructions:
- Wash potatoes, peel if you’d like (I keep the skins on). Pour 1 ½ cups of water into bottom of Instant Pot. Place a trivet or steamer basket in the pot. Add the potatoes into the pot.
- Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 25 minutes. When time is up move valve to venting and remove the lid.
- Remove the potatoes and trivet and discard the water. Place potatoes into Instant Pot liner and mash.
- Stir in the ½ cup butter, salt, pepper, onion, cream of chicken, sour cream and cheddar cheese. Spread it evenly in the pot.
- In a bowl, crush the Ritz crackers and stir together with the melted butter. Sprinkle the mixture over the potatoes.
- If you have an air fryer lid place it on top and air fry for 5 minutes at 400° F. If you don’t have an air fryer lid then bake in the oven at 400° F for 15 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
