In my experience, the health conscious and low carb eaters are always looking for mashed sweet potatoes.

Personally, I like my sweet potatoes in cubed form like my sweet potato hash browns.  I can even load them up with all kinds of goodies for a healthy lunch idea.

These mashed potatoes are so easy to make.  I just peel them and put them in the pressure cooker.

I used homemade cranberries in this recipe.  Adding cranberry sauce before the pressure cooking process gives it a nice sweetness and tartness without having to add additional sugars.

Quick tips for cooking with a pressure cooker

1) Always put the pressure gauge to “sealed” before starting the cooking process.

2) Make sure that the lid is closed tightly before starting the cooking process

3) When using an electric masher to mash the potatoes, UNPLUG the pressure cooker before using the hand blender

4) When the cooking process is done, move the pressure gauge to release position.  Stand away from the gauge when you release the steam

5) Never leave the pressure cooker unattended when on and always keep children away from it.

  1. Looks DELICIOUS. Definitely will try this. One comment – the nutrition information is a bit misleading – 3 cups per serving? who will eat 3 cups at a time? I will do the math and figure it out in smaller amounts . But THANK YOU for including it at all. 🙂
