Oh, the comfort of mashed potatoes! If you enjoy the flavor of rosemary, and garlic, and mashed potatoes, then you are going to love this Rosemary & Garlic Mashed Potatoes recipe. It is easy, of course, because cooking in the Instant Pot is always a pleasure.
I have had my Instant Pot for several years, and still, use it almost every day. Now that is one appliance worth keeping. (I have two). If you don’t have one, get one! If you have one and haven’t started using it, start using it. So many people get an Instant Pot and never start using it because they are intimidated. DON’T BE! There are so many tutorials and recipes out there and this gadget will seriously make your life so much easier.

Rosemary is one of my favorite herbs. Not only does it smell fabulous, it really does enhance the flavor of so many dishes. For this recipe, I use fresh, when I have it available, but if you don’t have fresh, just use dried rosemary.
