- 6 large russet potatoes washed, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 1/2 tsp coarse kosher sea salt divided
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 4 cloves roasted garlic minced OR 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp freshly minced parsley OR chives (optional)
Instructions
- Add cubed potatoes and 1/2 tsp. salt to the Instant Pot. Add enough water to cover the tops of the potatoes.
