Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes

Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes – garlic mashed potatoes w/ sweet & red potatoes. Creamy and full of flavor, these are sure to be a hit on your holiday menu!

Instant Pot Mashed PotatoesMashed potatoes are probably the epitome of comfort food! For me, I LOVE the creaminess that the red potatoes bring to the party. My other favorite addition is a little bit of sweet potato to the mix. It adds another level of flavor and packs in some awesome nutrients but keeps the mash still tasting savory and not like mashed sweet potatoes. 

Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes

Cooking mashed potatoes in your Instant Pot makes your life easier because once you’ve chopped your potatoes you set the pot to cook and you don’t have to worry about draining the water or the water boiling over. Also, it frees up space on your stove for other items to cook, or it doesn’t heat up your house!

Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes TIPS

  • When chopping your potatoes, try to make them all similar in size
  • If you like a “chunkier” mashed potato, then leave your potato cuts larger
  • If you like a “creamier & smooth” mashed potato, cut your potatoes smaller
  • I have Half & Half in my video recipe, but I actually didn’t end up needing it because of the consistency I was looking for.  Cooking in the instant pot keeps everything more moist, so if you like a thicker, chunkier mash then you probably won’t need the cream
  • The seasonings used are really ALL TO TASTE.  Feel free to adjust to your liking, or try adding some parmesan cheese if you want a cheesy flavor! Use your creativity to get the flavor profile you enjoy!

Asian Noodle Salad (La Bou Copy Cat) P54.5 C51.8 F Asian Noodle Salad
(La Bou Copy Cat)
P54.5 C51.8 F9.9 CAL518
One of my favorite places to go to eat when I’m home in Northern California is La Bou. They have a ton of different salads, soups and sandwiches to enjoy and i always have to go a couple times to be able to get all my favorite menu items. One of those it their Asian Noodle Salad. It doesn’t typically come with chicken but i added that to it to complete the meal. I have no clue if this is close to their recipe but to me it tastes close to it! If you have room in your macros/ calories, add some chopped peanuts when you enjoy! This should be enjoyed COLD, i don’t know if it would be as good if it’s warm. 
* 8 Oz soba noodles (buckwheat, uncooked)
* 1 cup broccoli (cut bite size)
* 1/2 cup sugar snap peas (cut in thirds)
* 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced 
* 3 green onions, diced
* 1/4 cup cilantro
* 20 Oz cooked boneless skinless chicken breast
Dressing:
* 1/4 cup liquid aminos (or soy sauce)
* 2 Tb rice vinegar
* 2 Tb Mirin
* 1 Tb sesame oil
* 1 Tsp minced ginger
* 1 tsp minced garlic 
* 1 tsp siracha 

1. Bring a large pot of water to boil (no salt). Add the noodles and cook according to the package instructions.
2. Drain and rinse with cold water.
3. Boil more water and salt the water this time. Add broccoli and sugar snap peas. Cook for 2 min and remove to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. 
4. Blend the dressing ingredients together. Then toss half the dressing with the noodles and the other half with the green veggies.
5. Assemble your bowls. Weigh the dressed noodles and divide by 4. Then put that amount in each bowl. Do the same with the green veggies.
6. Divide out the red bell peppers amount the bowls, and 5oz of chicken per bowl. Then too with green onions and cilantro. 

Let me know if you end up making this! We love it! If you don’t like a little heat, then omit the siracha, but it’s only mildly spicy. #ifitfitsyourmacros #ihmloveyourbody @iheartmacros @lilmissmittsgetsfit
