Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 ½ lbs sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instruction

  • Place the metal trivet in the insert of your Instant Pot. Add 1 cup of water.
  • Wash sweet potatoes clean and slice them lengthwise. Place them on the trivet cut side up. It's okay to stack them up on each other.
  • Close the lid, turn the valve onto "sealing" position, press manual or pressure cooker setting and set the timer to 14 minutes. The Instant Pot will beep after a few seconds and it will start cooking.
  • Once the time is up, let the Instant Pot release the pressure naturally. Carefully open the lid and remove the potatoes from the IP. I remove the trivet and pour the remaining water out. Then I scoop the flesh out of the potatoes, discarding the skin.
  • Add brown sugar, salt, butter and vanilla and mash with a potato masher, a whisk or even use a hand mixer.
