Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup of water
  • 14 sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean

Instructions

  1. Put the trivet inside the Instant Pot. Pour the water inside.
  2. Use a fork to poke each sweet potato twice, to allow steam to escape from the inside as it cooks.
  3. Place the sweet potatoes on the trivet.
  4. Lock the Instant Pot, seal the valve and cook on “high” as follows:
    • 2 inches or less: 15-20 minutes
    • 2-3 inches: 25-30 minutes
    • 3-4 inches: 35-40 minutes
    • 4 inches or more: 45-50 minutes
  5. When the cooking timer beeps, set the kitchen timer for 10 minutes to allow natural pressure release.
  6. When the kitchen timer beeps, turn the sealing valve to “open” to immediately release the remaining pressure.
  7. Remove the sweet potatoes from the Instant Pot carefully as they will be hot!
