Rosemary mashed potatoes in the instant pot
These rosemary mashed potatoes made in the instant pot are so unbelievably creamy and full of flavour.
I love them with a pat of butter or smothered in gravy and they work well with just about any protein.
They are so fluffy and flavourful. A perfect side to any protein.
