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!

I’ve neglected my little food blog and social me I’ve neglected my little food blog and social media accounts for so long. Besides going through a couple years of having babies. Building a home, selling a home having another baby, moving etc, I’ve also maybe never felt like the name I chose out of desperation for a food blog name really fit with what I wanted to post about or about me. I’ve been really trying to figure out what I want to share and how to share it and give the best value to people. I’ve always loved gardening, loved canning and preserving food, I love teaching my kids to cook and love food, i love all sorts of cuisine and I love throwing dinner parties. With our new home I now have a place I can entertainer more, a prettier kitchen to photograph and film in, a very large garden with space to have an outdoor dining table to literally eat Farm to Table. I want to focus my blog on basically all of that. Teaching and learning more gardening techniques, learning more about food preservation, entertaining year round and cooking with my kids. 

I’d love YOUR input in what I should change the name to… please drop your ideas below. If I pick yours I’ll make you some caramels or smoked salsa or something I can mail you if you aren’t local to me. 

Thank you! #newbrand #farmtotable #cookingwithkids #foodpreservation #dinnerparties #helpme

Living here we will never have to worry about getting pinched for not having green! 🤣

The exterior color scheme has had my stomach in knots ever since we chose it. I knew the other homes on our street were all going to be white and so our home would look drastically different. I wasn’t sure how it would all turn out, but I LOVE IT 😍! One day we’d love to do copper gutters and coordinating fascia and soffits. But I even love the white. 

We just had our final walk through before our final inspection!! I can’t believe the day has come that we finally will be moving in! March 24th cannot come fast enough!

We like to say “Indi understood the assignment”. Lol my favorite comment of the night came from Maverick “This is the best Christmas ever!” Which helped remind me why I kill myself to homemake these gingerbread houses every year and allow them to make a complete utter mess … all in the name of family time, Christmas time and making memories! #gingerbreadhouse #christmasmemories #candyhouse #sugaroverload #christmas21

While visiting CA my good friend @amberrasberry was so kind to squeeze us in and take some awesome family photos at the place where @shields_word and I had our engagement photos taken over 8 years ago @applehillofficial @highhillranch_applehill ! We might not have gotten one photo where everyone was looking at the camera at the same time, but that’s ok by me! Our life is crazy, hectic and full of energy! I’m grateful that these photos truly capture my children’s personalities and this wonderful stage of life we are currently in! @amberrasphotography did a fantastic job and I’m so grateful for her and her talents!

WARNING my feed might start getting filled with va WARNING my feed might start getting filled with various Salmon posts! I have a freezer full of fresh caught Alaska Coho Salmon. 

Tonight I made us a spicy salmon poke bowl with sushi rice, pickled carrots, cabbage, avocado, edamame and cucumbers. I made the kids a honey glazed pan seared salmon and they ate all the same items in our bowl. 

Do you have a favorite salmon recipe? I have a few but would love to try more! Let me know yours below👇🏼!!

It’s PEACH TIME! Our f#very first fruiting in ou It’s PEACH TIME! Our f#very first fruiting in our peach tree and our last time we will get to enjoy peaches from this tree as we are moving in a few months! So glad we got to enjoy the fruits of our labor with this tree! Also, if you have small children and plan to harvest while pregnant, I HIGHLY recommend planting an “easy pick” pruned peach tree! I only needed a ladder for like 20 peaches max. My kids were able to pick and reach most of them! #parentwin
