If you don’t have an Instant Pot yet, I highly recommend you pick one up soon. It’s truly revolutionized my cooking and how we do holidays: everything is easier and faster, which is never, ever a bad thing. On top of that, I’m coming out with a Paleo Instant Pot Cookbook so soon, and every recipe in it is Whole30-approved! It makes a Whole30 so much easier, since, if you’ve done one before, you know just how much time you spend in the kitchen making fresh food! The Instant Pot cuts down on the kitchen time without reducing the quality or freshness of your food. Are we having Jerry’s mac and cheese? Are we bringing mom’s banana pudding? Are you serving Cheryl’s mashed potatoes? The collective subconscious of your family dinner diners recognizes the dish by the name chef as being the only one that deserves making and bows its head with respect, simultaneously stuffing its face with the family’s favorite strawberry shortcake. Because if I hadn’t included them, that wouldn’t say very much about how I feel for all of you, would it? They’re that good. And this year I’ll be making “Cheryl’s mashed potatoes;” there’d be rioting if I didn’t. But I’ll be wishing I were making these! They’re Whole30 compliant and paleo (assuming you eat white potatoes on “your” paleo diet – I’m a firm believer in customizing your primal plan!), lactose-free, and with a vegan option. But more importantly? They’re almost unnervingly easy and elegant all in one: Throw them in the Instant Pot. Sauté some garlic and herbs. Mash it all up. Tada. They’re creamy and rich, and the infusion of the garlic and the fresh herbs take it over the top. I got the idea to infuse the ghee from Pinch of Yum, and it’s a big reason why these Whole30 Instant Pot mashed potatoes are so flavorful. You could skip it, but why? It’s basically my kitchen soulmate. What’s on your Thanksgiving table this year?
