Preparation

Step 1

1. Peel your sweet potatoes and cut them into 1″ cubes.

2. Add sweet potatoes and water to the instant pot. Close pot and set to sealing.

3. Cook on manual, high pressure, for 4 minutes.

4. Immediately quick release the pressure as soon as the 4 minute cooking cycle has completed.

5. Use oven mitts to carefully remove the inner pot from the Instant pot, carrying it to a colander in your sink to drain the potatoes.

6. Quickly wash out the inner pot and dry it with a kitchen towel.

7. Immediately place the clean inner pot back into the instant pot, add the coconut oil and press the sauté button.

8. Once the coconut oil starts to sizzle, add your potatoes back to the pot along with any seasonings you desire. Use a wooden spoon to stir and turn your sweet potatoes, cooking until a desired consistency is reached. This step should only take a few minutes before you are ready to serve your sweet potato mash! Enjoy!

Recipe Notes:
You can also experiment with adding items in sauté mode. You can simply add some chopped onion or bacon to cook down before adding the sweet potatoes back to the pot. You can be as lazy or as fancy as you wish.
