Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 3 small to medium sweet potatoes
  • 3 teaspoon butter optional

Instructions

  • Step 1 - You start picking small to medium sized sweet potatoes.  Clean the Sweet Potatoes by scrubbing the skin of the sweet potato under running water with a clean brush to get rid of any dirt on it.
  • Step 2 - Pour water into the inner pot, place the steamer rack followed by arranging the sweet potatoes in a single layer. Close the lid and seal the vent.
  • Step 3 - Pressure cook them based on the width of the sweet potatoes followed by allowing the pressure to naturally release (NPR).  This will yield you perfectly cook and tender texture.

      • Step 4 - Carefully open the lid and remove the steamer rack. Allow the sweet potato to cool for a 2-3 minutes and then take each sweet potato and slice it with a knife from one and to another. 
      • Step 5 - Fluff with a fork and either garnish with butter and spices or meal prep for a casserole or mash.
