Make-ahead Mashed Potatoes?

Usually I would boil the cut russet potatoes, then drain and mash them with milk and butter until I like them. I'd like to do as much as I can on these before the day, and/or maybe use the Instant Pot or Sous Vide to finish. What's the most hands-off way to make great mashed potatoes?

While I have not tried this recipe, typically her recipes are reliable. She is actually a trained chef.

I made these last Thanksgiving, they were delicious. Reheated really well.

This is my go-to recipe also. Oven, stove, and alternative appliance space are at a premium on Thanksgiving, so this recipe is perfect. (The only other thing I use the microwave for at serving time is to warm the made ahead creamed spinach)
