Batatas-doces na Instant Pot

Ingredientes

• 4 sweet potatoes that are all roughly the same size
• 1 cup cool water (increase to 1 1/2 cups if using the 8-quart Instant Pot)
• For serving: a sprinkle of salt and pepper (butter, and any other toppings of choice)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Scrub the sweet potatoes (no need to peel) and pierce a few times with a fork.

2. 2

   Arrange: Place the stainless steel trivet that came with your Instant Pot into the Instant Pot with the handles up. Arrange the sweet potatoes on top, and pour in the water.

3. 3

   Cook: Close and seal the Instant Pot. Cook on HIGH (manual) pressure for 12 minutes (for small, 6 to 8 ounce sweet potatoes), 17 minutes for medium sweet potatoes (8 to 12 ounces), or 25 minutes (for large sweet potatoes that are 12 ounces or more).

4. 4

   Vent: Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, carefully vent to release any remaining pressure, then open the lid.

5. 5

   Serve: Carefully remove the sweet potatoes with tongs. Make a slit across the top to open (fluff up the insides with a fork) or cut in half. Serve immediately with toppings of choice.
