Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs russet potatoes washed and dried
  • 1 1/2 lbs red potatoes washed and dried
  • 3 cups water
  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter
  • 4 oz Truffle-flavored Goat Cheese
  • 1/2 cup half & half
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • chives for garnish

Instructions

  • Set the package of goat cheese out to soften. Chop the russet potatoes into quarters to more closely match the size of the red potatoes. 
  • Place the potatoes in the Instant Pot. Cover with water, then set to "Pressure Cook" on "HIGH" for 15 minutes. After cooking, allow 15 minutes natural release before removing the lid. Potatoes should be fully cooked and easily sliced with a knife. 
  • Drain the potatoes to remove the water. Return to the Instant Pot and add all remaining ingredients. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes to a chunky consistency and combine all ingredients. Use a spoon to scrape the sides of the pot if needed. 
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and top with chopped chives, if using. Serve immediately. 

Notes

If not serving immediately, may be held warm in the Instant Pot until ready to use.
