Cubed Sweet Potato (Instant Pot Recipe)
Make the holidays easier with this simple Instant Pot sweet potatoes cubed recipe, great for making a sweet potato casserole or puree!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2-5 lb sweet potatoes washed, peeled, and cubed into 1 ½" chunks.
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Prep the sweet potatoes by washing, peeling, and cubing them into 1 ½" pieces.
- Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the pressure cooker. Insert a vegetable steamer basket. Place the sweet potato cubes into the Instant Pot and close the lid.
- Cook the potatoes for 10 minutes on high, the pot will take about 10+ minutes to come to pressure beforehand. Do a quick release of the remaining pressure.
- The sweet potatoes will be very soft and ready to use for another recipe like sweet potato casserole. Enjoy!
Notes
- The cooking time will be the same whether you need 2 lbs of cubed potatoes or even 5 lbs. You'll use 1 cup of water regardless. A 6 qt pressure cooker will hold 5 lbs of diced potatoes.
- If you're wanting to serve these as a steamed and cubed side dish, just cook them on High for 3 minutes until cooked through and they will still hold their shape.
- Ideally, use a steamer basket. You can use the rack that came with your pressure cooker if needed, you just want to make sure to keep the potatoes out of the water so they don't get soggy during cooking. They will be harder to remove from a rack.
