I love mashed potatoes. I make them in a bunch of different ways. I wanted to make a batch of super smooth and creamy potatoes and I had a container of plain yogurt in the fridge about to go bad so I tossed that in. I was really surprised at how smooth and creamy the potatoes came out! They were a tiny bit tangier than plain mashed potatoes but nothing over the top. These potatoes pair perfectly with brown gravy, amongst other things. Here’s how I make them.

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup water

Let pressure naturally release for 10 minutes then do a quick pressure release.

    Mashed potatoes is hands down my favorite Thanksgiving food! Bonus points for being able to make this in the slow cooker!
