Instant Pot Sweet Potato Casserole
Description
The recipe begins by pressure-cooking peeled and chopped sweet potatoes with water in an Instant Pot for eight minutes, followed by quick release. Pecans are combined with melted butter, brown sugar, flour, and salt to form a crunchy topping mixture chilled before baking.
The mashed sweet potatoes are mixed with butter, brown sugar, beaten eggs, milk, orange zest, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to create a smooth, flavorful base. This is spread into a baking dish and topped with the pecan mixture before baking at 350°F until nearly set.
Miniature marshmallows are added on top then baked further until melted and lightly browned, providing a sweet contrast to the spiced potatoes and nutty topping. This casserole serves as a comforting side or dessert suitable for holiday meals or family gatherings.
Ingredients
- 5 pounds sweet potato peeled and chopped
- 1 cup water
- ¾ cup pecans coarsely chopped
- 10 tablespoons butter melted and divided, unsalted
- ¾ cup brown sugar divided
- ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- kosher salt
- 2 egg lightly beaten, large
- ⅓ cup milk whole
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
- Add sweet potatoes and water to a 6-qt Instant Pot®. Select manual setting; adjust pressure to high, and set time for 8 minutes. When finished cooking, quick-release pressure according to manufacturer’s directions.
- In a medium bowl, combine pecans, 5 tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt; place in the refrigerator.
- Remove potatoes from the Instant Pot® and drain excess liquid before returning the potatoes to the pot. Using a potato masher, mash potatoes until smooth.
- Stir in remaining 5 tablespoons butter, remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, eggs, milk, orange zest, vanilla, cinnamon and 3/4 teaspoon salt.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9 x 13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.
- Spread potato mixture into the prepared baking dish; sprinkle with pecan mixture.
- Place into oven and bake until almost set, about 40 minutes. Sprinkle with marshmallows; continue to bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until marshmallows are golden brown.
- Serve immediately.
