Ingredients

3-4 medium sweet potatoes, or jewel yams
1 cup water

Instructions

Wash the sweet potatoes well, and prick each potato about 4 times with a fork.
Place the trivet in the bottom of the instant pot, then pour 1 cup of water into the pot.
Add the sweet potatoes to the pot and place them on top of the trivet. It's ok to stack the potatoes if needed.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot, then set the valve to 'seal'.
Select the manual/high pressure button. Adjust the time depending on the size of your sweet potatoes.
Small potatoes= 15 minutes, medium potatoes= 25 minutes, and large potatoes= 50 minutes.
Allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes before releasing the rest of the pressure.
If your sweet potatoes are not soft enough, place the lid back on the Instant Pot and add an additional 5-10 minutes.
Enjoy your sweet potatoes to your liking! I love to cook my sweet potatoes ahead of time to enjoy throughout the week, or to use in my sweet potato casserole.
