Whipped Sweet Potatoes

Whipped Sweet Potatoes are one of the easiest paleo and vegan sweet potato recipes. Just two ingredients and your instant pot is all you need!

These are basically incredibly flavorful sweet potato mashed potatoes made without dairy. They have such a creamy texture, you'll be convinced there's real butter in there!

Why this recipe works:

Whipped Sweet Potatoes only take a few minutes to make when you use your Instant Pot (or any electric pressure cooker).

• Have you ever made pressure cooker potatoes? It will change your life. Incredibly fast, easy, and the potatoes retain all of their moisture.
• These whipped sweet potatoes are vegan!
• These whipped sweet potatoes only have two ingredients. Besides sweet potatoes being the obvious ingredient, I used coconut butter. Not coconut oil. Not coconut milk. But coconut butter. It's what I used in my paleo coconut macaroons and it's fabulous.

Here's how to make them:

1. The sweet potatoes are peeled and cubed. Then, you simply place them in the Instant Pot with about a cup of water and cook for 6 minutes.
2. Whip the drained softened sweet potatoes with the coconut butter. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve hot!

Cooking tips:

• You can buy whole sweet potatoes and peel and chop them yourself. But, if you can find prepackaged chopped sweet potatoes, you'll save even more time.
• Coconut butter can be rather expensive. I do recommend you try it since it works so well and the flavor is fantastic in this recipe, but you can also use milk, butter, and/or sour cream in it's place.
• Have fun with the type of sweet potato you use. How fun would purple mashed potatoes be?
