Instructions

Step 1
Start by pouring some water into your Instant Pot. Pop the sweet potatoes and whole garlic cloves into a steamer basket and set it inside the pot. Close the lid, make sure it’s sealed, and set the pressure cooker to high for 10 minutes. It’ll take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up.

Step 2
Once the cooking time is up, carefully use the quick-release method to let out the steam (follow your Instant Pot’s instructions for this). When the pressure is fully released, open the lid and take out the trivet, leaving the potatoes and garlic inside.

Step 3
Add the goat cheese, butter, a pinch of salt, and some black pepper right into the pot. Mash everything together until it’s creamy and smooth—or as chunky as you like. Serve it warm and enjoy!

Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk or cream if needed to restore creaminess. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change.
