Instructions
Add the potatoes, broth, butter, and ½ teaspoon of sea salt to the Instant Pot. If you're making the Garlic Rosemary flavour, add the garlic cloves.
Close the lid, set the vent to sealing and cook on Manual High pressure for 10 minutes (your Instant Pot model may have a "Pressure Cook" button rather than a "Manual" button). It will take about 10 minutes to come to pressure.
Add the end of cooking time, let the the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes. Quick release the remaining pressure, add in the warmed milk or cream along with the remaining ingredients for your chosen flavour and mash until smooth. Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve immediately.

Notes
To double: double all ingredients except the broth. Cook time stays the same.
