Instructions
Cook the Potatoes in the Instant Pot
Place potatoes in the Instant Pot insert.
Add 1 cup of water.
After checking the silicon ring, close lid.
Make sure the valve is set to [Sealing].
Select the [Pressure Cook] or [Manual] program.
Make sure pressure level is set to [High] pressure.
Adjust pressure cooking time to 12-15 minutes, depending on the size of the individual potatoes.
Make the Mashed Potatoes
Allow potatoes to Natural Release for 3-5 minutes.
Release any remaining pressure from the pot and open the lid facing away from you, avoiding hot steam reaching your face.
Sprinkle Magic Flavor Dust over the potatoes and mash with potato masher. No need to drain the cooking liquid, as it will all be absorbed by the potatoes.
Add bacon and stir while mashing more.
Add cheddar cheese and incorporate into potatoes.
Mix in sour cream.
Taste and adjust seasoning by adding additional salt and pepper, if needed.
