Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes
Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes are cooked whole in the pressure cooker with water, using a trivet to keep them elevated. The result is tender and evenly cooked sweet potatoes, which depend on their size to determine the cooking time. This method avoids peeling or prepping beforehand, offering convenience and consistent texture.
