Steps
Scrub sweet potatoes with water until they are clean.
Add 1 cup of cold water to your Instant Pot.
Place the trivet in the Instant Pot and place sweet potatoes on the trivet.
Lock the lid in place and make sure the steam release handle is closed. Set to manual high pressure for the correct amount of time, based on the size of your sweet potatoes. Small Sweet Potatoes (12 minutes) Medium Sweet Potatoes(16 minutes, Large Sweet Potatoes (22 minutes), Extremely Large Sweet Potatoes (27 minutes, or more).
Instant Pot will take roughly 10 minutes to build pressure, timer will start counting down after it has reached pressure.
After the time has ended, let the Instant Pot naturally release pressure. This will take up to 15 minutes.
Once the pressure has been released naturally (you will know pressure has been released when the float valve has dropped back down), slowly unlock and remove the lid.
