01
Step 1
Start by pouring some water into your Instant Pot. Place the sweet potatoes and whole garlic cloves in a steamer basket, then set it inside the pot. Secure the lid and make sure the vent is set to sealing. Choose the high-pressure setting and cook for about 10 minutes. It will take around 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up before the timer starts.

Step 2
Once the cooking time is up, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method — just follow your Instant Pot’s instructions. When the pressure has 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 freshly ground black pepper to the pot. Mash everything together until it’s as smooth or chunky as you like. Serve it warm and enjoy!
