Ingredients
Scale
- 5–6 medium sweet potatoes
- water
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon coconut milk
- 1/4 cup ghee (or butter)
- 1/4 cup real maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Prep Potatoes: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the outer skin from each sweet potato and cut into about 6-8 chunks. Repeat with all of the sweet potatoes that you want to cook.
- Instant Pot: Add potato chunks to the Instant Pot and then add enough water to just barely cover them. Secure the cover on top. Cook on HIGH pressure for 8 minutes. Manually release pressure immediately (according to manufacturer’s instructions). Drain the potatoes and return to Instant Pot.
- Combine: Add ghee (or butter), maple syrup, coconut milk and salt to the pot with the cooked potatoes. Use a hand mixer or potato masher to fully combine. Taste and add additional ghee, maple syrup, coconut milk or salt, if desired.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately with your favorite main dish or add to your holiday table!
Notes
- Peeling Potatoes: Peeling the potatoes is optional, but it will turn out creamier if you do peel them.
- Coconut Milk: You could also sub almond milk here, but coconut milk makes them a little extra creamy.
- Ghee: To keep this recipe Whole30/Paleo use ghee, but you can easily sub butter if you prefer.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-6 days.
- Cook Time: The 8 minute cook time does not include the few minutes it will take for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure.
