How to Make Soft and Sweet Steamed Sweet Potatoes
A recipe for wonderfully sweet steamed sweet potatoes, cooked whole with their skins on to preserve their natural sweetness. These are perfect as a snack or a satisfying meal replacement.
Ingredients- 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Pour enough water into a pressure cooker to create steam, then place a steaming rack (or metal mesh) inside. Arrange the 4 thoroughly washed sweet potatoes on the rack, ensuring they are not too crowded and have some space between them for even cooking.
Step 2
Close the pressure cooker lid and place it over medium heat. Once the whistle starts to blow, reduce the heat to low and continue steaming for about 5-7 minutes. Timing from when the whistle first blows is key. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of your sweet potatoes, so it’s a good idea to check for doneness after about 5 minutes past the whistle.
Step 3
Turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes before carefully opening the lid. Be cautious of the hot steam escaping. Transfer the steaming hot sweet potatoes to a nice serving plate. Enjoy them as they are for a naturally sweet and soft treat, or try them with a bit of butter or honey for an extra special flavor.
