Step 1
Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Step 3
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 8 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
Step 4
Meanwhile, stir together cashew beverage and flour in a small microwave-safe bowl until no lumps remain. Microwave for 1 minute, stirring after 30 seconds. Stir into potato mixture. Use a potato masher to mash potatoes down to your preferred thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
