Ingredients

1 cup water
2 pounds rutabaga, peeled and chopped into 1-inch cubes

Pour water into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and set the trivet inside. Place rutabaga into a steamer basket and set inside the pot. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Drain rutabaga. Return rutabaga to pot or place into a medium bowl.
Add half-and-half, butter, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the rutabaga and mash to desired consistency. The rutabaga will have a chunky texture. For a smoother texture, use a food processor. Serve warm.

Tips:

Select the right turnips: Choose turnips that are small to medium in size, smooth, and firm. Avoid turnips that are too large, as they may be woody and less flavorful.
Peel and cut the turnips evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly in the Instant Pot.
Use a flavorful liquid: The liquid you use to cook the turnips will greatly affect the flavor of the final dish. Vegetable broth, chicken broth, or water are all good options. You can also add herbs, spices, or aromatics like garlic and onion to the liquid for extra flavor.
Cook the turnips until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size and type of turnips you are using. As a general rule, cook the turnips for 10-12 minutes at high pressure.
Mash the turnips: Once the turnips are cooked, you can mash them with a potato masher or an immersion blender. You can also add butter, milk, or cream to the mashed turnips to make them smooth and creamy.
Season the mashed turnips to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add herbs, spices, or grated cheese to the mashed turnips for extra flavor.
