By keeping essential moisture in the pot, a pressure cooker makes the creamiest mashed potatoes around. You'll get the perfect texture in just 15 minutes of cook time, and you can also make them ahead and keep them warm in the pot if desired. We love using Yukon gold potatoes for mashed potatoes, as they have a delicious buttery taste. They're flavored with chicken broth, heavy cream, butter, and fresh thyme. Feel free to throw in a clove if garlic too if desired. Since the potatoes in this recipe are not peeled, make sure to buy ones without any green spots.
