INSTANT POT SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
When you think of a holiday spread, I’m betting a Sweet Potato Casserole is one of the main options. It’s just one of those “must have” dishes! Well, I decided that there has to be a way to make it in my Instant Pot, both to free up oven space and to see if this wonderful dish could be made even better.
I think you’re going to love the results!
DO I NEED TO PEEL THE SWEET POTATOES AHEAD OF TIME?
That’s one of the things I love about this recipe – there’s no peeling required! Sweet potatoes can be difficult to peel when they’re raw. By cooking them whole, the skins just slip right off! This saves so much time and hassle, which is a bonus both for holiday meal prep and for a busy weeknight dinner!
IS INSTANT POT SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE OVERLY SWEET?
I think we’ve all had the candy-sweet casserole, made from canned yams. This is so much better! There is a hint of sweetness that plays so well with the spices and the deep flavor of the sweet potatoes, and the crunchy, delicious topping is the perfect finish to the dish. This is a dish everyone will love!
CAN I MAKE INSTANT POT SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE AHEAD OF TIME?
The majority of this dish can be made a day or two ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to finish it off, just add the topping and warm it up!
