Press Pressure Cook and set the timer for 8 minutes.
When the timer goes off, turn off the Instant Pot.

Notes

This is the Instant Pot we use.
Use organic vegetables if you can.
You can use fresh stock or a stock cube. Don’t waste the stock when you drain the vegetables though but reserve for making gravy.
Make Ahead – you can make and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
Freeze – you can freeze Carrot and Swede Mash for up to 3 months.
You don’t need to use the Instant Pot, a large saucepan will do as well. However, you must cover the vegetables with the stock and cook for 45 minutes with the lid on. The rest of the method is the same.
Add a splash of whipping cream for the ultimate Creamy Carrot and Swede Mash.
