Instant Pot Mashed Sweet Potatoes
  1. 1

    Add the sweet potatoes, coconut milk, vegetable broth, garlic, salt, and pepper to a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot). Close and lock the lid. Choose high pressure per the manufacturer's directions; set the timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build.

  2. 2

    Carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method per the manufacturer's directions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Carefully lift out the pot insert and set it on a trivet.

  3. 3

    Mash the sweet potatoes with butter in the pot insert using a potato masher, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
