Instructions
Using 2 tablespoons of the butter, grease the bottom and 2 inches up the sides of the Instant Pot.
Tie the sprigs of thyme and rosemary together with kitchen twine, then add the bundle to the pot along with the potatoes, garlic, 1 cup milk, salt, and black pepper.
Cover with the lid, press Slow Cook H, and adjust the timer to 5 hours. Cook until the potatoes are very tender, 4 to 5 hours. Press Cancel.
Remove and discard the herb bundle. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and mash the
potatoes (and garlic) in the pot, adding more milk if needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, to reach the desired consistency.
Spoon the mashed potatoes into a serving bowl and sprinkle with chives (if using).
