Warm and buttery Instant Pot Mashed Sweet Potatoes are deliciously sweet and can be ready on your plate in under 30 minutes!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

  1. 1

    Peel the sweet potatoes and chop them into cubes. Add the water to your instant pot and place the trivet or a steamer basket inside. Add the sweet potatoes and spread them out evenly.

  2. 2

    Place the lid on the instant pot and set the valve to sealing. Then turn on the Instant Pot to high pressure (manual) and cook for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Once the sweet potatoes have cooked, carefully flip the valve open to quick release the pressure. Open the lid, remove the steamer basket, and drain the potatoes.

  4. 4

    Add the melted butter to the Instant Pot. Return the drained potatoes to the pot, and add the brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.

  5. 5

    Mash everything together with a potato masher until the butter, sugar, and spices are mixed in and the sweet potatoes are smooth. Serve warm.
