Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste ½ cup dark brown sugar ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 cup orange juice 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces Directions Cut sweet potatoes in half, lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch slices; place into a pressure cooker steamer basket. Sprinkle with salt. Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Add orange juice to the cooker (see Editor's Note, below). Place the trivet and steamer basket with sweet potatoes into the pot. Sprinkle with brown sugar mixture; dot with butter pieces. Lock the lid into place and bring the cooker up to full pressure (15 pounds per square inch) over high heat according to manufacturer's instructions. Once pressure reached, reduce heat to low; cook 7 minutes Quickly release pressure according to manufacturer's instructions. Reserve cooking liquid. Remove steamer basket from cooker; carefully place sweet potatoes in a serving dish. Return cooker to stovetop; bring cooking liquid to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium; simmer, stirring frequently, until cooking liquid reduced, syrupy, and coats the back of a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour syrup over sweet potatoes; serve. Editor's Note: Follow the manufacturer's instructions and use the correct amount of liquid specified for your pressure cooker. For example, if the cooker requires a minimum of 2 cups of liquid, use 1 cup orange juice and 1 cup water. The extra cooking liquid will be reduced into a sauce on the stovetop after the sweet potatoes are done. I Made It Print 28 home cooks made it!
