Instant Pot Mashed Sweet Potatoes Recipe
The Instant Pot Mashed Sweet Potatoes Recipe combines the savory flavors of garlic, butter, whole milk, salt, and ground cinnamon with a wonderfully creamy patty.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds sweet potatoes - peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup water
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter - melted
- ½ cup whole milk - plus more if needed
- ½ teaspoon salt - plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Using the Instant Pot trivet, a wire steaming basket, or a silicone basket, place it inside the bowl of the pot. Fill your Instant Pot with 1 cup of water.
- Prepare potatoes by washing and peeling them and then chopping them into cubes approximately 1 inch in size. Sweet potatoes can be placed inside the steamer basket or on top of the trivet once they have been peeled and chopped.
- Make sure the pressure valve is set to sealing and place the cover on your Instant Pot. For 10 minutes, set your Instant Pot to manual HIGH pressure.
- Once the cooking time is complete, switch the pressure valve to venting and do a quick release. Take care when removing the lid.
- Before the cooking time begins to count down, your Instant Pot will take about 10 to 15 minutes to heat and build pressure.
- In a large colander, drain the sweet potatoes immediately.
- Using your Instant Pot, mash your sweet potatoes by transferring them into the inner pot. Set the Instant Pot to WARM.
- Melt the butter first and add it to the mixture. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until they reach the desired consistency after adding the milk, salt, and ground cinnamon. If needed, add more milk and salt to taste.
- With a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg and additional butter, the creamy mashed sweet potatoes are sure to please.
