INSTAPOT FAVE RECIPES- #3 POT ROAST AND MASHED POTATOES

Who DOESN’T love Pot Roast?  It’s such a feel good yummy recipe, and man oh man... did the house smell incredible while making it.  I’m telling you, I think my oven being broken was a blessing in disguise.

I looked at a few different recipes for this, but I liked this one the most because it had all the classics, and wasn’t tricked up.  IF YOU HAVE TIME, Make some mashed potatoes first, set them aside while the pot roast cooks and pour this pot roast over the mashed potatoes.  You can make the mash potatoes in the instapot too.  It’s so simple.  I’ve provided part 1 (pot roast recipe), and part 2 (mashed potatoes recipe below).
