Instructions
- Wash, peel, and cut sweet potatoes into 2-inch pieces.
- Add sweet potatoes and water to the instant pot.
- Close the lid and select MANUAL. Choose HIGH PRESSURE for 9 minutes.
- Once cooked, quick release the pressure and let the potatoes cool slightly.
- Drain the liquid and let the potatoes rest a few minutes to ensure they're well drained. Add the butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Mash until smooth adding warmed milk, as needed.
Notes
- Drain the potatoes well to remove as much water as possible.
- Add an apple or some chopped carrot or butternut squash to the potatoes before cooking.
- Mashed sweet potatoes can be topped with marshmallows and then place the lid on a few minutes to melt or soften them.
- Top with some chopped pecans. Lightly toast nuts in a sauté pan until they are barely golden. This intensifies the flavor and makes them extra crunchy!
- Leftover mashed sweet potatoes can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freeze cooled sweet potatoes in a zippered bag for up to 4 weeks.
