Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 6-8 medium potatoes (any kind)
• 1 teaspoon coarse rock salt
• ⅓ cup (100 ml) full cream or milk
• additional salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• Wash and scrub your potatoes well, even though you are taking the skin off, you dont want the stuff that is stuck on it to float around in your pressure cooker and cooking water - you will be using it later for the mash.
• Place the washed potatoes inside the pressure cooker, with the largest potatoes in the bottom and the smaller on top, and add the water. Then, put the salt on top (it will melt and combine with the water during cooking). Never put salt in direct contact with a cold stainless steel pressure cooker as it may discolor the metal.
• Close and lock the lid of the pressure cooker.
• For electric pressure cookers: Cook for 18 minutes at high pressure. For stove top pressure cookers: Turn the heat up to high (if you are using a gas cooktop ensure the flames are not licking the sides of the cooker - that is a little too high and could discolor the metal and damage the handles) and when the cooker indicates it has reached high pressure (with this model, the indicator comes up to the second white ring), lower to the heat to maintain it and begin counting 15 minutes pressure cooking time.
• When time is up, open the cooker by releasing the pressure through the valve- each pressure cooker does this differently so consult your manual for specific instructions!
• Transfer potatoes to mixing bowl, reserving the cooking water, and while they are as hot as you can handle, remove the skins (or leave them on if you prefer).
• Begin mashing with a potato masher and add two tablespoons of cooking water. Then two tablespoons of cream. Continue adding and mashing until you have reached the desired consistency - chunky is what my family likes so it only takes a couple of rounds of mashing and adding liquid for my potatoes to be finished.
• Taste before adding additional salt as they might already be salty enough! Then, add any additional salt and pepper to taste.
