Instructions

Add 1 cup of water to the insert of the Instant Pot / electric pressure cooker. Insert your vegetable steamer.
Prep the sweet potatoes by washing, peeling, and cubing them into 2″ pieces. Place the sweet potato cubes into the steamer basket.
Close the lid and set it to pressure by making sure the valve is closed.
Select MANUAL on the Instant Pot and then set for 10 minutes. The Instant Pot will take about 10 minutes to come to pressure beforehand and then start cooking and counting down.
