2 perfect side dishes that compliment many meals & will be finished in about 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 8 red potatoes, cut in half
- water to cover
- 1/2 cup half & half or whole milk
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 4 zucchini, combo green & yellow
- salt & pepper or garlic pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes & cut them in half. Cover them with water in the pot of the Instant Pot. Set the pressure on high for 10 minutes. Add the lid. Heat the oil in a large pan to medium heat. Slice the zucchini on the mandolin using the slicer that looks like a comb (with all the teeth).Add the zoodles to the hot oil. Sprinkle with salt & pepper or garlic pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the time is done on the Instant Pot, do a manual release to let out all the steam. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Add the butter & half & half or milk. Sprinkle with salt & pepper or garlic pepper. Mash with a potato masher until it's well incorporated & at the desired consistency. It might be necessary to add a little more milk. Serve hot.
