Garlic and Chive Mashed Potatoes
By :Time Inc.
Whole cloves of garlic simmer to a sweet tenderness along with the potatoes, and then melt right into the mash. Tangy Greek yogurt adds great flavor with very little fat. You can leave the peels on your potatoes for a more rustic mash, or peel for a smoother effect.

Instructions
  1. Combine the chicken broth, potatoes and garlic in a 6-quart Instant Pot. Close and lock the lid of the Instant Pot. Turn the steam release handle to “Sealing” position.
  2. Press [Manual]; select “High Pressure,” and use [-] or [+] to choose 9 minutes pressure cooking time. When time is up, turn cooker off. Open the cooker using Quick Pressure Release.
  3. Drain amount of liquid necessary for your own desired consistency. Draining half of the liquid should do the trick for most.
  4. Mash potato mixture with a potato masher to desired consistency. Stir in yogurt, milk, and salt. Stir in chives just before serving.

    I’ve not made this yet … but anytime I’ve ever made mashed potatoes I’ve always had to use my judgement to determine how much liquid to discard for the thickness I wanted to achieve … hopefully this will be helpful to others

    Used sbout 6 cloves of garlic. Used 1 cup stock, left just enough liquid, so I did not have to drain anything. Used about 1/2 cup milk and the cup of yogurt. Delicious!

    I liked it. Hubby and daughter said it tated weird, and blamed it on the yogurt. I increased garlic and decreased liquid, but it had the consistency of paste.

    Used more than 2 pounds of spuds, water and beef stock instead of chicken, poured out some of the liquid at the end and used sour cream instead of yogurt. Came out great!

    After reading all the reviews, id like to say…
    First of all, its a pressure cooker, you need liquid in order for the pressure part to work.
    You must use yukon gold potates, they have a sweet buttery taste.

    This is what I did…
    Removed the potatoes
    Separate the liquid and garlic
    Add garlic to potatoes and mash
    Add liquid 1 ladle at a time until you have a thick paste of mashed potatoes.
    Mixed in milk, yogurt, seasonings
    …perfect!

    Hated the chicken stock. Next time I’ll only do one cup stock and one cup plain water. I didnt have a problen with the amount of liquid, just poured out the excess. Would definitely make again with an adjustment or two.

    Easy to make….the preheating of the pot adds an extra 10 minutes to cooking time. I added butter for additional flavor.

    I used red potatoes and cashew milk and grass fed butter. I cooked the potatoes in the chicken stock, drained some of the stock. Perfect creamy mashed potatoes!

    If made according to directions the finished product more closely resembles chowder than mashed potatoes. Too creamy by far

    My first pot recipe. Delicious smooth red taters.
    I needed to make more than 2lbs.
    Not sure if i should have doubled recipe

    Great taste. Only thing is, its too much liquid and i even left the skin on. I may have added too much but I’m willing to try again.

    I agree with the last comment; I also left the skin on and it came out runny. You will want to drain ALL the liquid.
