Ingredients

  • 6-7 russet potatoes peeled (about 3 pounds)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 oz cream cheese I used reduced fat

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • Open the Instant Pot. Remove the potatoes and place them in the baking dish.
  • Hit cancel on the Instant Pot and then Saute.

  • Add the milk, cream, salt, pepper, and onion powder, 1 cup of cheddar (save 1/2 cup), the parmesan reggiano, and cream cheese to the pot.
  • Stir continuously until the cheese and cream cheese have melted.
  • Drizzle the potatoes with the liquid mixture. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar throughout.
  • Broil for 3-4 minutes until the cheese has melted.
  • Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle the chives throughout.

Notes

I purchase block cheese and shred it myself using a grater. I do not use pre-shredded cheese because it does not melt as well as block cheese.
Because chicken broth is used to cook the potatoes, I did not use much salt in this recipe. The broth has salt. Use your judgement in how much salt you would like in the dish.
