INSTANT POT™ SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE



Instant Pot™ Sweet Potato Casserole image

If one of the dishes you crave most at Thanksgiving is rich and buttery sweet potatoes spiced with cinnamon and vanilla and piled with gooey melted marshmallow-this recipe is for you. Seriously, it's the tried-and-true casserole, except in one way. This version is smarter, faster and therefore a better recipe when you're short on oven space and time, i.e., on Thanksgiving. Here's why: The whole dish is made in a single pot-your Instant Pot™-from cooking the potatoes to the final step of melting the marshmallows. Potatoes cooked under pressure practically fall out of their skins, so the most time-consuming step is super snappy. The rest of the casserole comes together without much more than a bit of stirring. And perhaps best of all, your casserole can be left inside the pot until you're ready to serve, so it'll arrive at the table piping hot.

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pounds medium sweet potatoes, peeled
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup marshmallow creme, optional

Steps:

  • Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
  • Turn a 6-quart Instant Pot® to the normal saute setting. When the pot is hot, add the pecans and cook, stirring constantly, until toasted and slightly darkened in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a bowl and reserve.
  • Add the butter and cook, stirring, until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the cream, maple syrup, cinnamon, 1 tablespoon salt and a large pinch of pepper. Add the sweet potato pieces and stir to combine. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 12 minutes.
  • After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes for a rustic mash or use an immersion blender for smoother mashed potatoes. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
  • Scoop the sweet potato mash into a large baking dish and use a large spoon to smooth it out into a single layer. If desired, scoop tablespoons of marshmallow creme onto the potatoes and allow to melt for 1 to 2 minutes, then use a butter knife to create a swirl effect. Top with the pecans.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled
1 cup water
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup real maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1 cup mini marshmallows
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Cut the potatoes into large chunks and place them in a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot. Add the water and then lock the lid, making sure the pressure valve is set to seal. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before manually removing the residual pressure.
  • Meanwhile, to make the topping, in a bowl, combine the pecans, marshmallows, sugar, butter, cinnamon and salt; set aside.
  • Carefully open the lid and mash with a potato masher until smooth. In a medium bow, whisk together the butter, heavy cream, maple syrup, vanilla, egg and spices. Pour into the potatoes and stir until combined. Press the sauté function on low and cook, stirring often, until bubbling, about 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the machine and sprinkle the topping over the top of the potatoes. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sweet potatoes: For a more complex flavor, use a combination of orange-fleshed and purple-fleshed sweet potatoes.
  • Cook the sweet potatoes until they are very soft: This will help them to mash smoothly and create a creamy casserole.
  • Use a good quality maple syrup: Pure maple syrup has a richer flavor than pancake syrup.
  • Don't overmix the casserole: Overmixing can make the casserole dense and tough.
  • Top the casserole with a crunchy topping: This will add texture and flavor to the casserole. Some popular toppings include pecans, walnuts, or a streusel topping.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes, and it can also be made ahead of time and reheated. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a sweet potato casserole recipe that everyone will love.
