Instant Pot Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Whole sweet potatoes steam on the trivet in 15 minutes with skins on, so the flesh mashes silky without turning to waterlogged mush.

DirectionsGet to the point
1Prick 3 lbs whole sweet potatoes 6-8 times each with a fork.
2Add 1 cup water and trivet to pot; stack sweet potatoes on trivet.
3Seal and cook 15 min High Pressure with 10 min natural release.
4Slip skins off (they peel like a glove) and mash with 4 tbsp butter, salt, and maple.
Dad pro tip

A ricer beats a masher for silk-smooth texture, but a masher gives you the coarser, homier texture most people actually want. Own both if you host — otherwise a masher is the only tool that matters.

Kid adjustment

Skip the maple and cream. Mash a peeled sweet potato with just butter and a pinch of cinnamon for babies and toddlers. It reads as dessert but is basically vegetables.

Reheat

Warm covered in a saucepan over medium-low for 6 minutes, stirring in 2 tbsp cream to loosen back to fluffy. Microwave in 45-second bursts with a lid if in a hurry.
