Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes
Description
The Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes recipe cooks whole sweet potatoes inside a pressure cooker, using a cup of water and a trivet or steamer rack to keep them above the water. Cooking times vary according to size, with smaller potatoes needing less time and extra-large ones needing more, ensuring even and thorough cooking without mushiness. A natural pressure release helps maintain the texture.
The sweet potatoes come out soft and moist but intact, ready to be served with your favorite toppings or incorporated into meals. Since the skin remains on during cooking, you can peel them easily once cooled or serve with skin on for convenience.
This method eliminates the need for peeling or chopping before cooking, reducing prep time and cleanup. It’s useful if you want a consistent cooking result and a hands-off approach to baking sweet potatoes.
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potato small or medium size, whole; quantity 4
- 1 water cold; 1 cup/250 ml
Instructions
- Rinse and scrub the sweet potatoes well in cold water.
- Add the cold water to the Instant Pot and add a trivet or steamer rack.
- Arrange the whole potatoes on the rack, and close the lid. Make sure you seal the valve.
- Pressure cook them based on size: Small size - 18 minutes; Medium size - 25 minutes (the most common ones you find at the grocery store); Extra large, long sweet potatoes - 35 minutes
- Once they are cooked and the IP beeps, do a 10-minute Natural Release. Open the lid carefully and serve them with your desired toppings.
