Pressure Cooker Loaded Smashed Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lbs red potatoes, washed and cut into chunks
12 ounces water
1 tablespoon salt
4 ounces half-and-half, warmed
4 ounces butter, melted
6 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup real bacon bits
salt
pepper

Preparation

1. Place chunked potatoes, water, and salt into pressure cooker.
2. Set electric pressure cooker to 15 psi, and set the timer for 8 minutes.
3. Once the timer rings, release the pressure using the \"quick release\" method for your cooker.
4. Drain the potatoes and transfer to a large pot. Heat the pot on medium heat and stir to dry the potatoes.
5. Add the half-and-half and butter to the potatoes. Mash with a potato masher to the desired consistency - I like mine a little chunky.
6. Stir in the cheese and bacon bits, and stir until incorporated.
7. ENJOY!
