Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes

​Sweet Potatoes ​are one of the foods that I always have on hand.  I used to roast them in the oven once a week.  Now I throw a bunch in the Instant Pot® and have them ready to go for a dinner side dish, an add-in to a breakfast hash, or as one of the main ingredients in my favorite Sweet Potato and Black Bean Lasagna. Instant Pot® Sweet Potatoes ​are tender, creamy,  and an easy way to make sure you have nutritious foods available.

To make ​Instant Pot® Sweet Potatoes, ​ wash and prick 5-6 small to medium sized potatoes.  Place the steamer insert into the Instant Pot® and layer the sweet potatoes on top.  Add two cups of water and lock the lid in place.  Adjust to manual - high pressure for 10 minutes, making sure the valve is in the sealing position.  When finished, do a quick pressure release by setting the valve to venting.  Allow to cool before serving or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. If using large sweet potatoes, adjust the time to 12-15 minutes.
