Instructions
 

Preparation:

  • Peel and cut the sweet potatoes. Scrub and wash the sweet potato under running water then cut them into chunks that are no larger than 1-inch.

Pressure Cook:

  • Add liquid. Pour about 1 cup of cold water or chicken broth then place the steamer in the inner pot of a 6-quart Instant Pot.
  • Add sweet potatoes. Place the sweet potato chunks in the steamer basket and make sure the potatoes are not touching the water!
  • Pressure cook. Close the lid and make sure the pressure release valve is in the SEAL position. Select PRESSURE COOK and set HIGH.
    Set time to 8 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin.
    When the cooking cycle is done and beeps, quickly release the pressure.
  • Mash the sweet potatoes. Carefully remove the sweet potatoes from the heat and transfer them to a large bowl.
    Add unsalted butter, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and maple syrup. Use a fork to lightly mash the sweet potatoes to whatever consistency you like. Stir to combine. Adjust the seasoning with a pinch of salt or extra spices.
  • Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy!
