INSTANT POT SWEET POTATO RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into pieces.
• Place the sweet potatoes in Instant Pot and add water into it.
• Close the lid of Instant Pot and set valve to sealing.
• Set the Instant Pot to “Manual” at high pressure for 8 minutes, release the pressure quickly through steam vent.
• Open the lid and check potatoes by poking a knife into them.
• If they are done, drain the liquid from the pot.
• Otherwise, cook for 2 more minutes.
• Add in remaining ingredients for potato puree.
• Mash the potatoes until they are smooth (you can do this by an immersion blender or a potato masher).
• If mash is too thick add a little more milk to make it smooth.
• Take a large bowl and add ingredients of pecan mixture in it and mix well.
• Spread this mixture on the mash potatoes.
• Select sauté and cook for 5-10 minutes while stirring occasionally.
• Keep the potatoes on keep warm mode until they are to be served.

Steps:

• Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
• Turn a 6-quart Instant Pot® to the normal saute setting. When the pot is hot, add the pecans and cook, stirring constantly, until toasted and slightly darkened in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a bowl and reserve. 
• Add the butter and cook, stirring, until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the cream, maple syrup, cinnamon, 1 tablespoon salt and a large pinch of pepper. Add the sweet potato pieces and stir to combine. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 12 minutes.
• After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes for a rustic mash or use an immersion blender for smoother mashed potatoes. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
• Scoop the sweet potato mash into a large baking dish and use a large spoon to smooth it out into a single layer. If desired, scoop tablespoons of marshmallow creme onto the potatoes and allow to melt for 1 to 2 minutes, then use a butter knife to create a swirl effect. Top with the pecans.
