Main ingredients

Instructions

  • Start by washing your sweet potatoes real good. You want them clean, no dirt stuck to the skin.
  • Use a fork to poke holes all over each sweet potato. This lets steam escape so they don’t burst or get mushy weirdly.
  • Add a cup of water to your pressure cooker’s pot, just enough for broth depth to keep things moist.
  • Place the trivet inside the cooker and set your sweet potatoes on it, standing up or laying flat — both work fine.
  • Close the lid and make sure the valve is sealed so the cooker can build pressure.
  • Turn the pressure cooker on high and cook for about 15-20 minutes depending on potato size.
  • When the time is up, allow a natural release so the potatoes finish cooking gently.
  • Carefully open the lid, take out the potatoes, slice them open, fluff the insides with a fork, then add butter, sea salt, chives, Greek yogurt or tzatziki, and guacamole. Top with creamy avocado cilantro lime dressing if you like that extra flavor.

Notes

Serve with desired toppings for extra flavor.
