Description
Sweet potatoes are cooked in the pressure cooker and topped with a orange-brown sugar glaze. I love these with roasted or grilled chicken and Southern-style green beans.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 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 butter, cut into pieces
Instructions
- Peel and cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise
- then cut each half into 1/4-inch slices. Place the slices into the pressure cooker’s steamer basket. Sprinkle slices with salt.
- Combine brown sugar
- cinnamon
- and nutmeg in a small bowl. Mix well.
- Pour orange juice into the cooker (see Editor’s Note
- below). Place the trivet and the steamer basket with the sweet potatoes into the pot. Sprinkle the potatoes with brown sugar mixture. Place butter pieces on top.
- Lock the lid into place and bring the cooker up to full pressure (15 pounds per square inch) over high heat. Once pressure is reached
- reduce heat to low and cook for 7 minutes.
- Quickly release the pressure using the method recommended by your cooker’s manufacturer. Do not discard the cooking liquid.
- Remove the steamer basket from the cooker and carefully place potatoes into a serving dish. Return the cooker to the stove and bring cooking liquid to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer
- stirring frequently
- until the cooking liquid is reduced and syrupy
- 5 to 7 minutes. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon.
- Pour syrup over sweet potatoes and serve.
