Ingredients
- 3 lbs sweet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan optional
Instructions
- Start by washing and prepping your sweet potatoes. I peeled and then diced my sweet potatoes into 2-inch cubes.
- In your Instant Pot you will add in your trivet, and then 1 1/2 cup water.
- Pour your diced sweet potatoes on top, and close the lid and make sure the valve is set to seal and cook for 9 minutes. Once the timer goes off do a quick release.
- Carefully drain off all the liquid on sweet potatoes and place them in a bowl or pan.
- With a potato masher or hand mixer mash up your potatoes. Add in your butter, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sour cream, and mix until nice and creamy. Do salt and pepper to taste.
- Then when ready to the sweet potato mash, serve top with parmesan cheese sprinkled on top if you would like or serve plain. I prefer a cube of butter and salt and pepper.
- Serve up your savory sweet potato mash for any and every occasion.
Notes
Optional Changes
- You can sub the sour cream with Greek yogurt if you are looking for a
protein boost and you can also swap the butter for vegan butter or ghee. - For a sweet version add in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. Drizzle with honey if you want more sweetness.
- You can play with the spices. It’s also delicious with chili if you like your mashed potatoes to be a bit more spicy.
