Notes
Note #1 - You can place them directly in the container, as I did, or use a steamer basket.Note #2 - Wait for the Instant Pot's valve to drop before opening the lid. Food Scale values:26g of butter650g/1.43kg/0.650lbs red potatoes7g pink salt2g black pepper60g olives (before chopping)100g roasted red bell pepper (before chopping)50ml regular whipping creamTIPS- Want to make a vegan version? Sub the butter with plant-based butter and use nut milk instead of heavy cream.-Whip the butter using a hand blender or a paddle attachment of your food processor. It will give the potatoes a very silky texture.- Always wait for the valve to drop on your Instant Pot. The pressure cooker is still cooking the ingredients even after the signing beeps.
