Instant Pot Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe

This Instant Pot Sweet Potato Casserole is a recipe that is made start to finish in the Instant Pot itself.

There is no transferring the mixture to a casserole dish to finish it off in the oven. In fact, the only dish that you need is the liner of your Instant Pot!

And that is a huge bonus when oven space is at a premium during the holidays!

Cooking The Sweet Potatoes

The first step in making Sweet Potato Casserole is to cook the sweet potatoes.

Although we love to make traditional Baked Sweet Potatoes in our Air Fryer, for this recipe, we will stick with the Instant Pot cooking method.

And although the sweet potatoes would cook faster by peeling and cutting them in small pieces, we prefer to cook the potatoes whole.

In the time that it takes to peel the potatoes and to cut them in small pieces, you can have the potatoes already cooking in the pressure cooker.

Simply wash your potatoes and poke them with a sharp knife. Then add liquid to the liner and place your potatoes on the trivet.

However, if the potatoes are too large to fit, simply cut them in half and stack them on top of each other.

Then pressure cook on HIGH pressure for 20 minutes for large potatoes. However, the cooking time could be less if you have smaller potatoes. I would suggest starting smaller sweet potatoes at 15 minutes as the base for the cooking time.

Once the cooking time expires, allow the pot naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes. Then release any remaining pressure and carefully remove the lid.

What you will find inside are fully cooked sweet potatoes with skins that are literally falling off.

Carefully remove the potatoes to a cutting board and peel and discard the skins.

Instant Pot Sweet Potato Casserole

Now that your sweet potatoes are cooked, it is time to make the Sweet Potato Casserole.

First, empty the water out of the liner of the Instant Pot. Then add your peeled potatoes back inside the pot.

The potatoes should be soft enough that a potato masher is not necessary.

However, if your potatoes are still a little firm in the center, feel free to use a potato masher instead of a spoon to mix in the ingredients.

With the pot on the Keep Warm setting, add the remaining ingredients and stir.

Finally, top your Instant Pot Sweet Potato Casserole with the prepared brown sugar and pecan topping.

Replace the lid and keep warm until ready to serve!
