WHAT IS THE BEST POTATO FOR MASHED POTATOES IN THE INSTANT POT?
I’ve had success with many types of potatoes:
- Russet potatoes
- Yukon potatoes
- Red potatoes
Besides some variations in taste and texture, the timing will be adjusted slightly for each type. Russet potatoes need a bit more time because they are larger, and red and yukon potatoes don’t need quite as long because they’re smaller.
Russet potatoes are the standard potatoes used for mashed potatoes but I love Yukon potatoes as well.
