Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes with Bacon

Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes with Bacon are pretty much an exact replica of my Dutch Oven Mashed Potatoes with Bacon. I made that version last year for Christmas dinner with my family. It was a really big hit. I will probably make it again this year for Christmas, but this time I may be using my Instant Pot!

When I first got into cooking potatoes were my side dish of choice for every family function. Over the years I would prepare a ton of different variations from scalloped….to mashed….to casseroles. I loved and hated it. I hated the time it took to stand over the sink peeling the potatoes, followed by the time it would take to boil them.

I started using red potatoes because they are a healthier alternative to russet. They also take less time to boil. They do not boil quickly, but I was trying to save time by any means necessary. With the Instant Pot (and the Dutch oven as noted in the recipe above), you can save LOADS of time cooking potatoes.

For this recipe, the potatoes took 12 minutes of cook time. It takes about 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to pressure. During this time, I cooked the bacon and also prepared another recipe.

You can choose whatever potatoes you like for this recipe. I love russet and Yukon Gold as well. You really can not go wrong with potatoes! At least not with me!
