Are you sick of spending hours peeling, boiling and mashing potatoes? I present you with the vegan Instant Pot mashed potatoes. I swear you will never make them the old fashioned way again.

Perfect for Thanksgiving

Every year, I volunteer to bring the mashed potatoes to our family Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations (to my fiance’s dismay haha). With over 20 family members in attendance, that’s a lot of potatoes to peel.

We would always spend hours peeling potatoes, then boiling until they are ‘just right’. To get them to taste creamy and delicious, we’d add heaps of vegan milk and butter.

When we discovered you could actually make these in the pressure cooker, with the risk of sounding dramatic, OUR LIVES WERE FOREVER CHANGED.

This year, I made mashed potatoes the day of our Canadian Thanksgiving. It took me 25 minutes and the clean up was effortless. I’ll never peel another potato again in my life.

Skins On & No Oil Or Butter

You might be skeptical, but I absolutely promise these vegan pressure cooker mashed potatoes are fabulous with the skins on and without oil or butter!

Because the pressure cooker cooks the potatoes so immensely, the skins just become part of the mash (plus they are the healthiest part). Cooking the potatoes in vegetable broth also means you get a rich, diverse and creamy flavor without the oil and butter. You’ll have to try to believe it!
