Classic additions include buttermilk, bacon bits, chopped rosemary, roasted garlic or garlic powder. You can easily get creative! Curry powder, chiles or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-sriracha\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-sriracha\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sriracha<\/a>, cumin seeds, brown butter, yogurt, capers, fresh or dried herbs\u2014the sky&#8217;s the limit. (Not all together, though.)<\/p>\n<h2>How should you store Instant Pot mashed potatoes?<\/h2>\n<p>Leftover mashed potatoes will keep in the fridge up to four days. For the best texture, add a dash of milk or broth to the potatoes as you reheat, or use them in one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/ways-to-use-up-leftover-mashed-potatoes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/ways-to-use-up-leftover-mashed-potatoes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recipes that use leftover mashed potatoes<\/a>. Follow our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-reheat-mashed-potatoes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-reheat-mashed-potatoes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">how to reheat mashed potatoes<\/a>. You may also freeze mashed potatoes up to a year.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes Tips<\/h2>\n<h3>Should you peel the potatoes when making Instant Pot mashed potatoes?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-types-of-potatoes-are-best-for-which-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-types-of-potatoes-are-best-for-which-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">type of potatoes<\/a> you&#8217;re mashing. Russets, which this recipe calls for, have thicker skin, which should be peeled as it can be tough and will make the texture of the mashed potatoes less pleasant. Thinner-skinned potatoes, like Yukon Gold or red potatoes, may be mashed with the skin on. The texture will be more rustic\u2014chunky and uneven\u2014rather than creamy and smooth, but many people like that extra bite to their taters.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I make Instant Pot mashed potatoes vegan or dairy-free?<\/h3>\n<p>You can! The dairy ingredients in this recipe serve to flavor the potatoes, and to loosen up the texture of the mash. When making the recipe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/vegan-mashed-potatoes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/vegan-mashed-potatoes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">vegan<\/a>, consider which ingredients to add to serve the same function. Use olive oil, margarine or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/vegan-butter\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/vegan-butter\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vegan butter<\/a> to add flavor, along with garlic powder or other seasonings. Vegetable broth can replace the milk, adding both flavor and smoothness.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with Instant Pot mashed potatoes?<\/h3>\n<p>The usual suspects go well with mashed potatoes, from weeknight <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mom-s-meat-loaf\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mom-s-meat-loaf\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">meat loaf<\/a> to weekend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-roast-chicken\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-roast-chicken\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">roast chicken<\/a> to holiday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/seasoned-roast-turkey\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/seasoned-roast-turkey\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">roast turkey<\/a>.
