1
cup
Water
1
clove garlic,
(squashed)
3/4
cup
Milk
1/4
cup
Olive oil
Instructions
Scrub potatoes and peel them if desired. (Note; the peel adds texture and contains lots of the nutrients.)
Cut potatoes into 6 pieces.
Place on the Silicone Basket in the Pressure Cooker.
Pour in the water and add the garlic.
Close and lock Pressure Cooker and bring to pressure on high heat using setting 2 (Pressure is reached when the red Pressure Indicator has risen)
Once at pressure, turn down the heat and cook for 6 minutes.
Remove from heat. Quick-release pressure by placing under a running tap with cool water for a few seconds.
Remove the potatoes using basket and pour out the water.
Add potatoes back into the Pressure Cooker (with the garlic if you like garlicky spuds).
On low- medium heat, heat through for 1-2 minutes to dry out the potatoes.
Mash to your desired texture, slowly adding the oil and milk.
Season with salt and pepper and serve.

The perfect side dish with any stew.
