Notes
- Topping - If you like the marshmallow topping on your sweet potato casserole you can pour the mashed sweet potatoes in an oven safe dish. Top with marshmallows and broil until golden in color.
- Make-Ahead - You can make this dish ahead of time and then reheat before serving. Pro tip: Cool the potatoes in the Instant Pot place plastic wrap on top and refrigerate. The next day, take out the Instant Pot remove the plastic wrap and set on warm setting for one hour to reheat.
