HOW TO COOK SWEET POTATOES IN THE INSTANT POT (+15 recipes to use it!) Place steamer basket in the instant pot along with 1 cup of water and 1 or more sweet potatoes (whole, unpeeled). The sweet potatoes can touch and you can layer as many that can fit in your instant pot. Do not poke with a fork. Cook on manual high pressure with the valve sealed for 25 minutes. Manually release the steam and remove with tongs. Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise with a knife. Allow the sweet potatoes to fully cool before handling them. The skin will fall right off. Discard the skin and store the cooked sweet potato flesh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. Note: If your sweet potatoes are large you may need to increase the cooking time by a couple of minutes. You can check on them, insert a knife and then always add more cooking time if needed.
