Have I mentioned that I LOVE my Instant Pot??? I use it at least once a week! Check out my other Instant Pot Recipes.
All you need is a 5 pound bag of russet potatoes, chicken broth, milk, butter, and your toppings.
Toppings can be anything! We like bacon bits and freshly crated cheese. I also add red pepper to mine. I am sure Sour Cream and Chives would be good too.

- Add 1 can chicken broth to the pot.
- Add 2 cans of water to the pot
- Peel and Cut 5 pounds of potatoes

NEXT STEPS:
Once the pot beeps do a quick release of the pressure. Be careful! It will be very hot!

Use a potato masher and do 2-3 big smashes.
Stir and pour into bowls.
