Description

The easiest way to cook sweet potatoes!


Ingredients

Scale

2 large sweet potatoes
1 cup water


Instructions

Step 1
Scrub your sweetpotatoes and prick with a fork a few times. This will help the steam to escape and prevent any explosions from happening.

Step 2
Dump water in Instant Pot and place the insert (or trivet) that comes with the Instant Pot inside.

Step 3
Place sweetpotatoes on top of the trivet.

Step 4
Secure the lid, set pressure to high and set the cook time for 20-22 minutes. You can adjust the cooking time accordingly. I’ve cooked them for 18 minutes when I was in a rush and that worked too! I probably wouldn’t do any less than 18 depending on the size of your sweetpotatoes.

Step 5
Once your 20-22 minutes is up – let the pressure release naturally for 10-15 minutes.

Step 6
Remove from Instant Pot and serve with your favorite topping.
