Instant Pot Sweet Potato Recipe
Instant Pot Mashed Sweet Potatoes are a foolproof side dish with intense flavor, thanks to bourbon, brown sugar and cinnamon.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup water
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt divided
- ¼ cup half and half
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into small cubes
- 1 tablespoon bourbon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add sweet potatoes, water and 1 teaspoon salt to bowl of 6-quart Instant Pot. Secure lid and set Pressure Release to Sealing. Select Pressure Cook or Manual Setting and set cooking time for 10 minutes at high pressure (pot will take about 10 minutes to come to pressure before cooking time begins).
- When cooking time ends, move Pressure Release to Venting to release steam. Carefully drain as much excess water from bowl as possible.
- Add half and half, butter, bourbon, brown sugar, cinnamon, pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt to bowl.
- Use a potato masher to mash potatoes and combine all ingredients until smooth.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, use a hand mixer to blend the potatoes and mix-ins until they reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You may need more salt and pepper to fit your preference.
