I have some questions about this recipe before I try it. Since it is cooked in a pressure cooker and caution and respect are required when cooking with a pressure cooker, I am wondering if that is the reason Trisha used red (waxy potatoes instead of russets, which would definitely cause more starchy foaming to build up in a pressure cooker. I have never tried using a pressure cooker for cooking potatoes for mashed potatoes, but would love to try it since boiling my potatoes always results in constant boil-overs and gigantic messes. I have to admit I have started using the store-bought refrigerated mashed potatoes because of these boil-overs. All you pressure cooker users - what do you all think about cooking russet potatoes in a pressure cooker? Depending on what the responses are, I will use red potatoes in the meantime and just mash them with a potato masher. Thanks for replying.

Since I made all the rest from this episode, tried the potatoes - no explanation needed. Tried again, because I really like the texture of the waxy potatoes. Used butter, lots of "white" pepper, salt and butter (lots and did not use an electric mixer (they come out like glue. Mashed and kept warm with butter on top along with a clove of garlic. They were great. Basic recie is probaly OK if you don't know how to use your own imagination.

Yummy - this is identical to my recipe except I add a couple of tablespoons of Duke's mayo - makes it really creamy.

Haven't tried the potatoes in the pressure cooker yet, but THIS is the way to make real mashed potatoes - Georgia-style!

Except for the pressure cooker, I've been making my mashed potatoes this way for 30+ years and my family thinks I have the best mashed potatoes they've ever tasted. Nice to see Trisha's cooking is truly country home-style.

I really liked the pressure cooker idea. I don't use mine enough. I used Yukons also and halved the butter in the mixing part. In fact, I love melted butter over the pots.when serving, you can see it and it looks so much more appealing that way.
