Equipment

  • 6-quart Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs sweet potatoes washed and rinsed, no need to peel
  • 1 cup water for the Instant Pot
  • 4 tbsp butter salted
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp sour cream

Instructions

  • Add the sweet potatoes to the steamer insert of an instant pot. Pour in one cup of water.
  • Pressure cook the potatoes on high for 12 minutes.
  • While the sweet potatoes cook, add the butter to a small saucepan.
  • Turn the heat to medium-low and allow the butter to brown for 5-7 minutes. It will turn amber in color. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Use quick pressure release to remove the lid once they are finished cooking.
  • Allow the potatoes to become cool to the touch. Then peel off the skin.
  • Add the potatoes to a stand mixer bowl with the dough attachment.
  • Add the browned butter (including the browned bits at the bottom of the saucepan) and the remaining ingredients to the stand mixer bowl.
  • Turn the stand mixer to “Stir” and mix until the sweet potatoes are incorporated and smooth.
