Prep Time 10 mins	coming to pressure 12 mins
Cook Time 14 mins	Total Time 24 mins

Ingredients

• 3 T unsalted olive oil
• 6 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• 3 lbs sweet potatoes
• 1 cup water
• 2 Tbsp butter (I use Miyoko’s dairy-free butter)

Instructions

1. Mix maple syrup, salt, olive oil, and vanilla and mix it into the Instant Pot with a whisk.
2. Place the metal trivet in the insert of your Instant Pot. Add 1 cup of water.
3. Peel away the yam skin and cut into cubes.
4. Close the lid, turn the valve onto “sealing” position, press the pressure cooker setting and set the timer to 14 minutes. The Instant Pot will beep after a few seconds and it will start cooking.  The spuds will cook with the already mixed seasonings.
5. Once the time is up, let the Instant Pot release the pressure naturally.
   1. Carefully open the lid and remove the potatoes from the IP.
   1. I remove the trivet and pour the remaining water out.
