Servings: 2 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 cup water
- steamer trivet
Instructions
- Scrub the sweet potatoes and pierce each with a fork.
- Pour 1 cup water into the Instant Pot and place the trivet inside. Arrange the potatoes on top.
- Secure the lid, set the valve to Sealing, and cook on High Pressure for 15 minutes.
- Let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes, then carefully release any remaining steam.
- Remove the lid and take out the sweet potatoes. Serve warm or store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Notes
- Choose sweet potatoes that are similar in size so they cook evenly in the Instant Pot.
- Place the potatoes on the trivet, not directly in the water, to prevent soggy skins.
- If the potatoes are very large, cut them in half before cooking to reduce time.
- Always allow at least 10 minutes of natural pressure release for the best texture.
- If the sweet potatoes aren’t fully tender, simply return the lid and cook for 2–3 more minutes.
