@@Lisa.Childs I use the ricer on regular potatoes, not frozen. I buy them by the 10lb bag. However, using the ricer after they have been cooked and still have the skins on makes a uniform mash. Why would you mash frozen cooked potatoes when real potatoes are so much better.
I'll have to try that! Looks really yummy 😋. I do make my instant potatoes the way you do but I add a little ranch dressing, so good 👍 😋. Thank you for sharing
I am definitely sending this video to my sister! Lisa, I’m not sure you can do anything about this but you have a reviewer adding personal hits on your female reviewers…his name is supposedly “David Blue”…
I do the same thing but with real potatoes cut into chunks, and for 15 minutes in the IP. I also leave the skins on and use 3 or 4 potatoes, either russet or red. So for an extra 10 minutes you get real mashed potatoes from scratch.
For sure. I do that 99% of the time. This is a shortcut for those extra busy nights or for a lot of the viewers of my channel who cannot peel and cut potatoes easily.
I can get a really large bag of diced frozen potatoes pretty cheaply! I'll bet the hashbrown style with bits of bacon and peppers would still be okay. Also, the garlic Better than Bouillon would be awesome. Or add some roasted garlic after cooking.
I had a bag of hash browns sitting in my freezer a couple years ago so I figured they’re potatoes, why not try to mash them? I’ve never gone back to fresh. This is so much easier.
Great idea. I love your recipes. I love mashed potatoes, but not the peeling. However, once I got a microwave, I warmed my milk and butter in the serving bowl. This not only made life easier, but they dud. Ot get cooled Dow. If the rest of dinner was not quite ready, I parked the bowl in the microwave, where the residual heat kept the potatoes warm. I have been cooking pre-microwave, for over 70 years, no microwave and an old fashioned pressure cooker. Keep up the great work!
Hi, some of us are poor or just cheap. To me, using frozen potatoes is an expensive indevor. My recipe is to take whole potatoes, pressure cook them for 15 minutes. Cut them in half and rice them back into the pot. (the skins will stay in the ricer, remove them after each half potato) Then add what ever you like in your mashed potatoes and mix it up. The spuds are already mashed due to the ricing so just add milk, butter, S&P and what ever you like. Pretty simple and cheap. The price of frozen potatoes has gone through the roof.
For sure. I do that 99% of the time. This is a shortcut for those extra busy nights or for a lot of the viewers of my channel who cannot peel and cut potatoes easily.
Just found your channel and binge watching. Some really great recipes and ideas! Would appreciate it so much if you could tell me quantities and cooking time if I want to cook up less. Thanks!
So silly, just walk two steps to the left and get a bag of frozen mashed potatoes LOL it’s diced potatoes you microwave add milk and mash. No Insta pot to clean and mash in same bowl you serve in. They ARE real fresh mashed potatoes and I believe cheaper than hash browns
@@paulasimson4939 recheck as Kroger carries it and it’s made by the same company even Ore-ida the same folks who have hash browns, it would be shocking if they don’t carry it
Yes but dried flaked potatoes are real potatoes as well but don’t taste like fresh. These don’t taste exactly like fresh because it doesn’t have that earthiness but it’s a much bigger improvement to potatoes flakes
@@Lisa.Childs There are many types of potato and all taste and feel different to the pallet and different types are preferred for different outcome like boiling frying or roasting as a starter.
Here is a tip I learned from my dad in making instant potatoes try adding some mayo to them it gives them a better flavor.
Brilliant! Will be using this when I don't have enough time for peeling. Thank you!
I loved this idea! Very practical and easy for week night dinners. Thank you so much!!
What a fabulous idea!!! Can’t wait to this, thank you!!
I love your channel watching from Karlskoga Sweden.
Added diced potatoes to my grocery list. Thanks for the video!🫶🏻
👋, how are you doing today; hope everything went well and hope it was a blessed day for you!
Great tip! I like using a potato ricer instead of a masher or mixer. Perfectly smooth, but still easy.
These are so soft I don’t think a ricer would work too well for these :) but please let me now if you try it!!

This is a great tip, Lisa - thank you! I'm shopping today and will pick up a bag.
I'll have to try that! Looks really yummy 😋. I do make my instant potatoes the way you do but I add a little ranch dressing, so good 👍 😋. Thank you for sharing

This is genius, I 💜 using my IP as much as possible and now here's another comfort food ta da. Thanks 👍 for sharing 🤗😘💜
Love the idea of adding stock in there!
That is really clever.
My mashed potatoes came out perfect. Thank you very much for the great tips.
Tried Tested and True, your channel makes life more easy.
Omg I’ll try to look for those frozen potatoes!!! Never knew it could be that easy
Wayyyyy cool! Tryin it!!
Yummy and easy nice.
Great idea
👋, how are you doing today; hope everything went well and hope it was a blessed day for you Trisha?
If you mash them with just the butter before you add the cream they will be less sticky.
Great idea!

What a great idea! Thanks, Melaney from SoCal

How did I end up getting notifications for this channel?
We always do butter and cream cheese! This looks great.
Wow that is amazing,great video.Can you make a video on making spaghetti in the instant pot.Thanks 😃
I make a Taco Spaghetti in the Instant Pot, and it is awesome. Kids love it.
Can you do a few videos on how to make vegan homemade mashed and sweet potatoes in the instantpot?
Thanks!
You could do this method or the method I shared in last weeks video with vegetable broth and vegan milk and butter products!
Genius 🤩

I think these need some garlic butter or garlic cream cheese, but this is a great hack I'll be giving this a try soon.
Awesome video
I still don't have an IP. Would this work in crockpot or microwave somehow?
I wonder how much water I would need to add if I used freeze dried potatoes ???? I'll give that a try for sure.
Mine keep burning in the instapot before they come up to pressure 😢. Any advice?
Wish you could compare regular mashed potatoes with the frozen ones.
if you doubled it would you do 2c broth and still 5m?
Did you try it, and did it work?
I wonder if I could double the recipe? I have the 6qt IP
TTandT, it's always about time, money and paying bills.
Can you run them through a ricer? Thats what I normally use.
These are so soft I don’t think a ricer would work too well for these :) but please let me now if you try it!!
@@Lisa.Childs Thank you. Great videos, keep them coming!!!
Tried and True, this whole performance is for you and your husb and family! Yes, I'm real.
Salt and pepper?😮

Could a person add onions? I thrive on onion. 🤔
I wonder how feasible it would be to just make them with whole potatoes quartered in the IP... Hmm.
For sure. I do that 99% of the time. This is a shortcut for those extra busy nights or for a lot of the viewers of my channel who cannot peel and cut potatoes easily.
Mine needed more than a cup of water.
Can you use milk instead? Never have half and half in the house...
Of course! Do whatever you normally do for mashed potatoes! Sour cream, cream cheese, milk, cheese, etx
Canned evaporated milk works great for mashed potatoes.
Just found your channel and binge watching. Some really great recipes and ideas! Would appreciate it so much if you could tell me quantities and cooking time if I want to cook up less. Thanks!
I rather put in more chicken broth instead of milk

I don't have that option where I live, so this actually is a fantastic tip for me.
@@paulasimson4939 recheck as Kroger carries it and it’s made by the same company even Ore-ida the same folks who have hash browns, it would be shocking if they don’t carry it
Hash brown potatoes are real potatoes :)
@@Lisa.Childs yes but cost more and now you have to clean the insta pot
And they taste like real potatoes, well maybe that is just because the frozen potatoes are real potato.
Yes but dried flaked potatoes are real potatoes as well but don’t taste like fresh. These don’t taste exactly like fresh because it doesn’t have that earthiness but it’s a much bigger improvement to potatoes flakes

U like following instructions. I don't.
