Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds Russet potatoes peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large yellow onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup whole milk or unsweetened plant-based milk
  • 1/2 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: chopped chives, crumbled bacon or smoky tempeh, shredded cheddar, or a drizzle of hot sauce

Instructions
 

  • Set your pressure cooker to sauté mode and melt the butter. Add onions and garlic, cook until onions soften.
  • Add diced potatoes, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  • Add vegetable broth over the potatoes and stir.
  • Seal the Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
  • Let pressure release naturally, then mash the potatoes to desired consistency.
  • Whisk in milk and Greek yogurt. Heat until creamy.
  • Top with optional toppings and serve warm.

Notes

Choose starchy potatoes for a creamy texture and prep ahead to remove excess starch. Adjust texture to preferred consistency by mashing. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
