- Don’t be nervous about using a hand mixer to mash your potatoes, just proceed with caution and start slow. Don’t overwork/overmix your potatoes, as it’ll result in a gummy, dough-like side dish.
- If the potatoes are too dry when mixing, add a tablespoon of cream at a time until they become creamier.
- Mashed potatoes are best made prior to serving.
- The potatoes can be kept in the warm setting in the instant pot for up to an hour, however, it may dry out the potatoes. Add some melted butter and hot cream to the potatoes before serving, about 1 - 2 tablespoons each, and mix it in evenly with a spoon.
