Instructions

Peel and cut potatoes into uniform pieces. Cover with water until ready to make if not making it immediately.
Pour the potatoes into the Instant Pot. Cover with enough water to just cover the potatoes.
Set the Instant Pot to manual, high pressure for 10 minutes. Place the lid on the pressure cooker and press start.
When done pressurizing, quick release. Then drain the water off the potatoes. Place the potatoes back in the Instant Pot.
Cut the butter up and put in with the potatoes. Begin mashing the potatoes with a hand mixer or hand masher.
Pour one cup of milk into the potatoes. Warm the milk up to keep the potatoes as hot as possible. Continue to mash.
Stire in two teaspoons of salt and the sour cream. Continue adding the milk until the potatoes reach the consistency you desire.
Serve with butter or gravy.
