Easy and delicious mashed sweet potatoes, perfect for a weeknight side dish.
I often find myself in need of something super simple and quick for dinner. Especially when it comes to side dishes. Well, I’ve finally jotted down my go-to recipe for delicious pressure cooker
sweet potatoes!
I’ve cooked these potatoes more times than I can count, but I’ve never actually taken into account how much of anything I was adding. I guess I get that from my mom. But my wife has changed me! She wants me to be able to recreate dishes time-after-time. So, for that reason, I have begun the process of documenting measurements in food – particularly the less sexy side dishes that we eat on a regular basis.
The Process
Place 5 large sweet potatoes in pressure on top of trivet. Add 1 1/2 cups water. Lock lid and set manual timer for 20 minutes at high pressure. Once cooke time is complete, allow pressure to release naturally (about 15 minutes).
Remove skin from potatoes and also trim any dark spots.
This is definitely the easiest way to cook sweet potatoes. There is almost zero waste!
Transfer potatoes to large mixing bowl.
While potatoes are cooking – in a small sauce pan over medium heat, add butter, brown sugar, vanilla, salt, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
Heat and mix until fully melted.
Then add evaporated milk and bring to a simmer.
Pour milk mixture into mixing bowl and thoroughly mash and mix potatoes.
