Notes
Serving size: Half of 1 medium sweet potato.
Sweet potatoes with a diameter much larger than 2 inches cook less evenly, even if you add extra time.
You can add fewer sweet potatoes or add more. Cooking time is the same but it will take less/more time for the Instant Pot to come to pressure.
Cooked sweet potatoes can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
