They are packed with fiber, vitamins A and C and antioxidants. When pressure-cooked they become tender and flavorful bases for various toppings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water:<\/strong> Water is essential for creating the steam that&#8217;s needed to pressure cook the sweet potatoes. The water sits at the bottom of the Instant Pot, allowing the sweet potatoes to cook evenly while staying moist.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optional toppings:<\/strong> Butter, salt and pepper are classic toppings that enhance sweet potatoes&#8217; natural sweetness and flavor. You can also get creative by adding cinnamon and brown sugar or savory toppings, like cheese or sour cream.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the sweet potatoes<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2059661\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Instant-Pot-Sweet-Potatoes_TOHD24_278420_JuliaHartbeck_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Piercing the sweet potatoes with a fork\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Julia Hartbeck for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Using a fork, pierce each sweet potato several times.
