Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 – 4 whole sweet potatoes (small or medium size)
  • 1 cup (250 ml) cold water

Instructions

  1. Clean: Rinse and scrub the sweet potatoes well under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
  2. Prep Instant Pot: Pour the cold water into the Instant Pot and place a trivet or steamer rack inside.
  3. Arrange: Place the whole sweet potatoes on the rack inside the pot. Ensure they are arranged evenly and not overcrowded.
  4. Seal the lid: Close the Instant Pot lid securely and make sure the steam release valve is set to the sealing position.
  5. Cook: Pressure cook the sweet potatoes based on their size: small – 15 minutes, medium (most common) – 30 minutes, extra large or long – 50 minutes.
  6. Natural Release: When cooking time is complete and the Instant Pot beeps, allow a natural pressure release for 10 minutes.
  7. Serve: Carefully open the lid, remove the sweet potatoes, and serve them warm with your favorite toppings such as butter, cinnamon, or herbs.

Notes

  • Use a trivet or steamer rack to keep the sweet potatoes above the water for even cooking.
  • Adjust cooking time based on the size of the sweet potatoes to avoid under or overcooking.
  • Natural pressure release helps retain moisture for soft and fluffy potatoes.
  • Sweet potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated.
