Equipment
Storage
Instant Pot Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be made in minutes. But how long can you store them in the fridge? Instant Pot recommends storing the potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. After that, the potatoes may start to spoil and develop an off-flavor.
