Hi Amy and Jacky! If I don’t have maple syrup can I substitute brown sugar? If so, how much would you suggest?

I love your recipes and I am a huge fan! I can’t wait to try this! I have the sweet potatoes but no syrup and they weather is too bad for the next few days to go out. Thanks for the help! Happy Holidays!

Something so simple yet so delicious. Used Amy + Jacky recipe for cooking sweet potatoes in the Instant Pot. Then whipped them with butter, pure maple syrup, cinnamon, and topped with dried cherries and candied walnuts. The perfect side dish!

In reply to CHRISTOPHER. I make potatoes for mashing without peeling, then use a potato ricer (looks like a giant garlic press) when you press the unpeeled cooked chunks, the skins stay behind in the hopper! Empty a couple of times and you'll have beautiful potatoes no peeling required.

Hi Tiffany,

thank you for your question 🙂

You can just use the littler steamer that came with the Instant Pot.

Please take care & have a wonderful Christmas!

What does the trivet look like? Can I put it right on the little steamer that the instant pot cane with?

Happy Thanksgiving Victoria!

Thank you so much for your kind words and support 🙂

Cooking in liquid will leech out some of the sweet potatoes’ flavor. If you are planning to add all the liquid back to the dish, it will work fine. Adding seasonings inside will work fine as well 🙂

Please take care & have fun cooking

In reply to Katie. I love your site! I saw recipes that skipped the steamer basket but it seemed a bit odd to me to cook them in water that would be incorporated into the dish. However, if you use orange juice, it suddenly seems ok to me to incorporate. If doing so, would it make sense put seasonings inside to cook with it (like I do with the slow cooker)? Or do you think it is better to season afterwards? Thank so you much for all your generous assistance. Happy Thanksgiving!
