After each use I scour/ scrub my stainless pot with powdered Comet or Ajax. Takes off all the microscopic food and film. Allows food to not burn or stick the next time I use it. Love your recipes and website! Blessings to your family and to each person reading this!

I’m so glad I found your site, when I googled “sweet potatoes in Instant Pot Duo Crisp”! I used your recipe yesterday, as the prep for sweet potato casserole. Once they were done, the skin peeled right off, without losing any of the super tender potato! They were so tender I easily mashed them with a fork. A fork! Thank you!

In reply to Claudia E Dorsey. Hi Claudia! That is a great suggestion, however, the length and width are much more important for sweet potatoes, as their diameter varies greatly. A 1-pound sweet potato can be either wide (which would need a longer cooking time) or narrow (which would need less cooking time). And that will change the cooking time even though they are the same weight. I hope that explains it. Russet potatoes don't vary quite as much in width.

With your recipe for regular potatoes in the Instant Pot you gave weights. That would be helpful for the sweet potatoes, too. Thanks. I'm trying this recipe today.

In reply to Essie. I love sweet potato biscuits with sausage gravy, so that actually makes sense to me. I will have to try it. Thanks for sharing.

My husband and I love them with sausage gravy. It sounds strange, but it is delicious. Thank you for another great recipe!

I needed that cleared up because I

In reply to Lauren. I LOVE chili with sweet potatoes--such a great combo! In the future, I would recommend noting you cooked for 3 more minutes so you can plan accordingly next time :)

Great recipe, I had to pop them back in for 3 more minutes but that probably has more to do with my estimation skills than your cooking times...

I paired it with leftover chili from another instant pot recipe and it was amazing! I love the combination of sweet and spicy!

In reply to Dawn. Hi Dawn! I think you are getting radius and diameter confused and there is absolutely NO need to worry about complicated Math for this recipe! 😊 There was no mention of circumference and nor do you need to find the circumference of potatoes to determine cooking time. Diameter is the measurement of the width of the potato. You don't need to get out a measuring tape, simply estimate the width and use the suggested cook times.

2”diameter is 6” circumference, so the directions are a bit confusing, and leave me to trial and error on timing.

I accidentally dropped and broke one of my sweet potatoes. Could I put that one back together and wrap it in foil and then cook in the instant pot with the other potatoes?
