How To Make instant pot sweet potatoes

Step 1

Insert the rivet into a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot and add the water.

Wash the potatoes. Pierce the potatoes several times with the tines of a fork.

Place the potatoes on the rivet. Seal the Instant Pot and pressure cook on high pressure for the correct time for your size potatoes.
Step 4

- Small potatoes (2 inches or less): cook for 13 minutes - Medium potatoes (2-3 inches) cook for 18 minutes - Large potatoes (3 inches or more) cook for 25 minutes
Step 5

Let the Instant Pot naturally release pressure for 10 minutes before pressing the quick-release button and removing the lid.
