Nice
Thank you Jill! great Tips on potatoes!
You are so welcome and thank you for watching and cheering me on 😍
I Will be watching you for more great tips!
Thanks again Jill
Jill, I'm so glad I found your channel :) I love watching you and your family! Your recipes are genius :D
Wow & woot, woot! Learned a few new things today (y). First, did not know I could put the white potatoes in without putting them on the rack. I've been putting them on the rack w/1 C. water & setting it for 14 min. doing NR (natural release). Potatoes turn out great though am seeing that I don't need to go for that long at all. Hubby does not like sweet potatoes so it will be nice to be able to do this all at one time now. I'm going to check into getting just the separate immersion stick type/ricer attachment/blender to not be washing as many dishes. As always, thank you, Jill! Julie Black Lichlyter
You're welcome! I'm happy to be a help to you ;D
Help for your steamer basket ring. Mine looked like yours. It just wasn't strong enough to pull out heavy things. I finally replaced it with a keychain split ring. Much stronger and super easy to attach. Love your videos and the laughs!
Oh you are so smart I will definitely do that too!
Brilliant i say !
You are freaking hilarious, you make me smile every time I watch one of your videos. I just got my instant pot at Christmas time this year, and I'm loving it. I have forwarded one of your videos to a friend who is vegan, but without and instant pot, I think you and I may convert her to becoming a pothead Like us. Please keep up the great work, I am now a subscriber. Best wishes, Paula from Edmonton Alberta Canada.
You rock!😃😃😃😃
I'll take that and raise you with "Well, I think you're awesome!"
Jill McKeever, Simple Daily Recipes Ok. But you're moooore than awesome!😊😁😁😁 Sending you love and countless hugs and kisses !
I love sweet potatoes! What a great idea; I need to get a steamer basket.
You don't already have an old one tucked into a cabinet somewhere?
Thanks, Jill, for the advice on the potatoes. It was so quick and turned out a treat. 😋 Next time sweet potatoes! 🍠 🍠
Have you thought about getting a big crochet hook to get that steamer out? Should be much easier.
I enjoy your videos! They're so full of Life!! Thank you, JILL 😊💖!
The steamer basket on top of those potatoes is 'BRILLIANT' 🙌🎶woot, woot🎶🙌
i love the Harold & Trudy episode! And that classic sign..so cute!
Love you Jill, you always make me smile!!!
(hugs)
I use a salton gadget called “Masha” that does the same thing as the breville attachment attachment. It looks like an immersion blender. Then you don’t have to buy the brevville all in one, just the Masha.
That is such a good tip.although I don't own a pot,I love watching your videos.you are such a warm and bubbly person.
Thank you for watching and cheering me on 😃
Saw your book on Amazon & was delighted to find your videos on RUclips. This is the first one I've watched. I think I love you! Very entertaining and easy to watch. You're going to make my new Instant Pot very easy to use! Thank you!
Hi Nancy! It's nice to meet you! We are going to be get along great because we both love our Instant Pots. ANYTIME you want to talk iPots, holler for me. I love to talk about food and cooking. I've been pressure cooking for 20 years so it's nothing new to me.
I love it!!!!
I never used a strainer in my insta pot. I need to get one. Four minutes...wow. learn something every day.
Great video Jill!! 😊😊👍👍
THANK YOU Sheri!
I was rushing around to make dinner and was also doing dishes and getting the stuff for granola together and DUH! had to look this up to remember the time for taters as potato salad was requested. After twice setting it I came back to find them not cooked! I forgot the cup of water twice! The joke at the end of your video was fitting... I watched that part after I realized my problem so all the more fitting for today! :)
I want an Ipot so much!!!
Do you ever leave the peels on the potatoes for mashed spuds? Also, just wondering if you ever tried mixing the sweet pots in with the regular pots to make a mix mash? I know I've got more questions than sense. Thanks for your swell videos and book. I love the book.
I wish I could leave the peels on but then my picky daughter would not touch them. Nor would she eat them if I mixed the sweet potatoes with the white potatoes together. Thank you for watching and thank you for buying my book 😃
I had to come back and watch this. Such a great idea.
Thank you! Let me know when you do try this.
Will do!
Great tip and vid! THANKS :-)
Hey Jill was you trying to send me to the ER? That was too funny, I loved it! 😂🤣🤤
Nice videos! We got our first IP a month or so back on Amazon's Prime day; took me only 3-4 weeks before I went and found another. I use a steamer basket similar in design to yours but it it has a short tool to grab onto the post where yours has the ring for removing it. I was wondering though if, in your case a heavy piece of heavy wire with a hooked end would work better then your chopstick; maybe the hooked end of a metal coat hanger?
when I make my mashed potatoes, I leave what little water is in my instant pot from the cooking of the potatoes in the pot and just add milk and salt while I mash them. You always teach us not to wast anything, so I keep that little bit of water. I was excited when I came up with cooking kale and fresh green beans at the same time in the same pot. I did it just like you did the potatoes. I love my instant pot! My big brother saw me using mine last week and now he wants one. He is getting one from me for his birthday in two weeks!
I will admit that's just an old habit to drain out the water. You have a good point I could definitely save it back to help cream up the potatoes. By the way you are the best sister EVER! 😇
This is brilliant! I also watched your other mashed potato ipot recipe video. I have one question. Can I cook 6 pounds of potatoes in the ipot at once (to make a lot of mashed potatoes)? And, if so, would I still only use about 1 1/2 cups of water and cook them for 4 minutes or should I add more water/increase the cooking time? Thank you! Your videos are so informative and have really made me get a lot more out of my ipot!
I don't believe we can get six pounds of potatoes in a 6-quart Instant Pot. Maybe in the new 8-quart size instant pot, not the six quart. Four pounds will cook up fine. You shouldn't need to increase the cooking time or the water for 4-pounds of potatoes.
Thank you so much! This is very helpful! I can't wait to try this - it will be so much easier than on the stovetop!
I just use the potato water that I cook the potatoes in to make mashed potatoes and add some onion powder plus the salt and pepper to taste, it's very yummy
Sounds delicious! Maybe one day, Maggie will let me season up her potatoes beyond nondairy milk and salt. ;D
If you use a silicone flan dish or a silicone steamer flat basket you could do both sorts and just lift the bottom ones out tip the water and carry on as you did in video. I find less water in pot makes for creamer mash.
You are so smart. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a silicone steamer basket
How many white potatoes do you put in there? Thank you. Love this video!
I typically cook 3 pounds of potatoes at a time in the 6-quart Instant Pot.
Thanks Jill. You are SO fun! You really get me going. I too, love sweet potatoes and my son likes white ones. LOVE the fact I can cook both in my IP at the same time. :-)
189....MINE HOLDS 190,,,,,! !(STUPID QUESTION,...STUPID ANSWER).....
Just joined and just starting plant based diet. What milk did you use in the mashed potatoes? My head is spinning with info and I'm excited but such a huge change in what I've done for all my 64 years...here's to hoping it's not too late. Love you style Jill !!
you are so much fun a new subscriber here :*
THANK YOU for watching and subscribing! I'm glad you're here :D
I feel your pain! 😆😂 You are my queen! I would rather watch you than Saturday Night Live!!
I am honored! Truly! I'm planning to take Improv comedy classes starting in January to hone my funny bone. :D
I am surprised four minutes is enough. Have to try it.
Genius! Now if you could figure out how to do basmati rice and sweet potatoes at the same time, my life would be perfect!
could you put the rice in a dish on top of the sweet potatoes?
In my imagination the rice goes on the bottom, with maybe the sweet potatoes on top? I use basmati rice
Hi Jill! What was the name of your immersion blender again! I can't seem to find one with the ricing option. Thank you!
Here's the link to it on Amazon: simpledailyrecipes.com/Breville-All-In-One-Station
What's the difference between steam and manual? I've seen guides about using both when cooking sweet potatoes, my pot is in the mail - but ideally I'd like to cook everything on manual (so I don't have to think all that much)
Also, if I wanted to cook brown rice and sweet potatoes (whole) together, would you recommend doing the same technique you use for rice (22 mins manual) and just having the sweet potatoes in a basket above? Is the same quantity of water fine or is more needed?
Thanks
you're a freakin' genius!!
When you put the sweets on top do the whites taste a little like them? I would be inclined to put the whites on top (my family doesn't like sweets, either).
I was thinking the same thing...and it is simple to do it that way too :)
could you do this in a stove top pressure cooker and would you use the same amounts?
OH MY GOSH...I was rolling at that joke at the end...but I totally made the mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes exactly like you did...hhahahahahahahahaha
Are you using cows milk for the mash? I am trying to avoid dairy products so I was wondering if perhaps soy milk would be okay.
Silly Question - why not just put them together, then fish the sweet potatoes out before you mash the white potatoes? (is it a flavor transfer issue?)
Are you kidding? My family would flip out if they knew sweet potatoes were touching their white potatoes. They would claim the touching made their mashed potatoes taste funny. ;D
Wait... the kids or hubby too? LOLOL!
Nothing wrong with a little real grass fed butter
I've got 2 of those steamer baskets and I'm gonna do veggies on top of the potatoes!!!! Oh....wait a minute..... If I cut the potatoes small enough, the veggies will still have some life left in them by the time the potatoes are done.....right?????
Which veggies are you thinking of cooking with the potatoes? Thicker green beans and chunky carrots, possibly brussel sprouts could take 3 minutes with a quick release. Otherwise, cut the potatoes down to 3/4-inch dice cuts to cook tender in 1 minute. That way, you could cook larger chunks of broccoli, cauliflower, peas, peppers...they won't turn to mush. Use quick release to stop the cooking.
Instead of sweet potatoes, I cooked corn on the cob in the basket. 4 min like you did... Turned out great! Thanks for the inspiration Jill!!
+Carole Youngberg I was thinking about doing corn in the basket. Now I know it will work! Thanks so much Carole!
Very clever! Thanks for the tip, and the joke. Snort!
Did you use dairy milk or plant based milk? Is your family vegan or are you the Lone Ranger Vegan in the house? PS: I loved the joke at the end.
We drink plant-based milk, unsweetened plain soymilk is our favorite. Hubby, teen son (16), teen daughter (13) and myself like to call ourselves "plant-based." We've been plant-based for 5 years. We got on board at the same time and everyone is proud to stay with it.
What is the tool you used to mash them with...you went to fast for me to catch the name ...thank you if you get back to me
Why on earth am I cooking potatoes for 15 minutes? eeeesh!
Naomi Rook lol I was thinking the same
LOL
Bahahahahaha!
Why couldn't you just cook potatoes together?
Why peel them. Alot of the vitamins are in the skins!
Honestly, I don't like the skins. LOL
[s your furry fiend a vegan? If you make your own---well his---food that would be a great video
Milk....butter...? ? ? ? ....I thought you were vegan!
+Kenny Marklow That's right, I consume plant-based foods.
could you do this in a stove top pressure cooker and would you use the same amounts?
