Scrub sweet potatoes and pierce them several times with a fork.

To pressure cook sweet potatoes, place the sweet potatoes on a trivet in the instant pot over 1 ½ cups of cold water. Place the lid on the instant pot and be sure the vent is sealed. Adjust cook time to 16 minutes for skinny sweet potatoes, 22 for average sweet potatoes, 26 minutes for large sweet potatoes, and 35 for extra large sweet potatoes. Once the cooking time has elapsed, allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before opening up the inner pot.

To bake sweet potatoes, place the pierced sweet potatoes on a foil-lined sheet pan and bake at 375℉ (190℃) for 30-40 minutes or until tender.

Once cool enough to handle, cut open the baked sweet potato. Top with yogurt, sliced banana, a drizzle of nut butter, chia seeds, and granola, or go savory and top with sautéed veggies, bacon, sausage, eggs, etc.
