For an even richer flavor, consider using half-and-half or cream instead of milk. Ensure the leeks are thoroughly cleaned to remove any grit. Yukon Gold potatoes are recommended for their creamy texture, but other varieties like Russet or red potatoes can also be used. If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute the butter with olive oil or vegan butter and the milk with unsweetened almond milk or vegetable broth.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot), combine the potatoes, sliced leek, and coarse salt. Add enough water to cover the potatoes by about an inch (approximately 2 cups). Close and lock the lid. (5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
Select high pressure and set the timer for 10 minutes. Allow approximately 10 minutes for the pressure to build. (10 minutes)
03
Step
15 mins
Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Then, carefully release any remaining pressure using the quick-release method. (15 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
Unlock and remove the lid. Drain the potatoes and leeks thoroughly, then return them to the pot. (2 minutes)
05
Step
3 mins
Select the Saute function. Toss the potatoes and leeks until they appear dry and begin to sizzle slightly, about 3 minutes. (3 minutes)
06
Step
1 mins
Add the butter and stir until melted and evenly distributed. Pour in the warmed milk. (1 minute)
07
Step
5 mins
Mash the potatoes with the back of a wooden spoon for a rustic texture, or use a potato ricer for an exceptionally smooth and creamy mash. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground white pepper. Serve immediately. (5 minutes)
