Ingredients
- 1 lb sausages

- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup onion gravy (optional)
Instructions

- Add cubed potatoes to Instant Pot with 1 cup fresh water. Cook on high pressure for 4-5 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
- Perform quick pressure release, drain any remaining water. Add butter, warm milk, salt, and pepper to potatoes.
- Mash potatoes using potato masher or electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Plate mashed potatoes, arrange sausages on top. Optional: drizzle with warm onion gravy before serving.
Tips
- Choose high-quality sausages: Select fresh, thick sausages for the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overcook: Use the quick release method to prevent dry, tough sausages.
- For extra creaminess, warm your milk before adding to potatoes.
- Use a potato ricer or electric mixer for ultra-smooth mashed potatoes.
- For a flavor boost, try adding roasted garlic or fresh herbs to your mash.
- If you don't have onion gravy, store-bought works just as well.
- Let sausages rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juices.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat milk and reduce butter quantity.
