Instructions

Pressure Cook:

  1. Place the metal trivet in the insert of the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water.
  2. Wash the sweet potatoes, clean and slice them in half lengthwise. Arrange them on the trivet cut side up. You can stack them up.
  3. Close the lid, turn the valve onto "sealing" position, and pressure cook for 14 minutes.
  4. Once the time is up, let the Instant Pot release the pressure naturally.
  5. Open the lid and remove the sweet potatoes from the IP. Remove the trivet and discard the water.

After Pressure Cooking:

  1. Scoop the flesh out of the sweet potatoes into the Instant Pot.
  2. Select Saute and add the “After Pressure Cooking” ingredients. Stir to combine, until sugar and butter are melted.
  3. Turn off Instant Pot.
  4. Mash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher, a whisk or even use a hand mixer to make them fluffier.

Cinnamon Sugar Walnuts:

  1. Place a small skillet over medium heat. Add butter and melt.
  2. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, chopped walnuts and stir to combine.
  3. Serve on top of sweet mashed potatoes.
