Instant Pot Red Mashed Potatoes

I love these mashed potatoes. They are way easier than making them on the stove. This recipe eliminates the time watching the Pot to see if it’s boiling and checking the potatoes to see if they are tender enough. It also eliminates the work of mashing them. If you don’t like the skins, feel free…
