Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes
Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes are cooked in a half hour from start to finish! They come out fluffy, smooth, and perfectly cooked every time!
Ingredients
- 6 medium sweet potatoes
- 1.5 cups water
- steamer basket
Instructions
- Wash your sweet potatoes with fresh water and scrub them to remove any dirt. Use a paring knife to cut off any blemishes.
- Pour the water into the Instant Pot, then place the sweet potatoes into the steamer basket and lower it into the Instant Pot.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot and secure it. Move the steam valve to the seal position.
- Use the manual function of your instant pot and set it to high pressure. Set the timer for 16 minutes.
- Allow the instant pot to come up to pressure. The instant pot will count down the time. When the time has finished, the Instant Pot should beep.
- Let the instant pot do a natural release for 12 minutes. This means you do not do anything for 12 minutes. It will naturally release the pressure.
- When 12 minutes has passed, carefully move the value to "release". (Remember this can be hot, so be careful!)
- Once all the pressure is released, remove the lid and serve.
Notes
- The sweet potatoes cooked at this time are perfect for adding to casseroles and pureeing.
- If you would like to eat the sweet potato as a “baked” sweet potatoes, lessen the cook time and release time by 2-3 minutes each.
