This recipe can be doubled in a 6 or 8 quart instant pot. Large round slices of potato (about 4-5 rounds per potato) are recommended; no need to cut into small chunks.
Place the peeled and sliced potatoes into the bottom of the instant pot.
Cover with water and add 1 teaspoon of salt.
Place the lid on the instant pot and set the valve to seal.
Cook on manual pressure for 8 minutes.
When the timer goes off, turn the instant pot off.
Quick release the pressure from the pot.
Drain the potatoes and return to the instant pot with power off.
Add the remaining salt, pepper, garlic powder, butter, milk, and sour cream to the potatoes.
Mash until smooth using a potato masher or hand-held mixer.
Serve topped with parsley if desired.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
