Instructions
  1. Follow the recipe for my Mom’s Traditional Meatloaf and combine ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Separate meatloaf mixture into 4 small loaf pans (I just used the disposable ones) or in one glass dish that fits inside your IP. They even have silicone baking dishes on Amazon. Just note, if using one dish, you’ll have to increase the cooking time for 10-15 more minutes, depending on the thickness of your meatloaf.
  3. To your Instant Pot, add the diced potatoes and water.
  4. Lay your trivet directly on top of the potatoes, and layer the four loaf pans on top of the trivet.
  5. If they stack up too high (i.e. they go above the “Max” line on the inside of the pot), remove some of the potatoes from the bottom, replace the four pans, and add the potatoes around the edges of the loaf pans.
  6. Attach the lid on top of your IP and seal the valve.
  7. Press the Meat/Stew button (Or Manual – it doesn’t really matter), press “Adjust” until the pressure is set to “More,” and set the cooking time for 35 minutes. The IP should take about 10 minutes to come to pressure.
  8. When the timer goes off, do a QR (quick release) and remove the lid.
  9. Remove the meatloaf pans and drain excess fat off of each.
  10. Remove the trivet and drain the water from potatoes.
  11. Optional: Your meatloaf doesn’t look the prettiest at this point, and doesn’t have any bit of a crust. This step helps that, but is totally optional! Place meatloaf pans on a baking sheet under the broiler on Lo for 3-4 minutes to crisp up the top layer.
  12. To the warm potatoes, add remaining ingredients: butter, yogurt/sour cream, nutpods/milk, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. I like slightly clumpy potatoes, so I just use a wooden spoon to gently mash them. If you don’t like any clumps, use a handheld mixer to whip them up – all right in the same pot!
  13. Serve on their own or with your favorite gravy! Despite my LOVE for gravy, I find that these potatoes need absolutely nothing more. They’re rich and delicious on their own.
