    My favorite part of Thanksgiving is always the stuffing first, but the sweet potatoes are a very close second. I only just started to make the sweet potatoes into a casserole in the past 10 or 15 years and I like it much better that way. I mix some pecans brown sugar and butter into the potatoes but then I also put a little bit more on top. I prefer the flavor throughout instead of just the crust on top. But yours looks amazing!

      @@bonniegilmer8315 well, I eat a lot lot healthier than I did earlier in my life when I used mass quantities of both butter and brown sugar in my sweet potatoes. Now, maybe a tablespoon of brown sugar and about the same of butter in a small casserole for just a few people. I used to use a whole stick of butter back in the day! LOL but baked sweet potatoes are so delicious on their own that they really do not need a lot of sweetening. I like to let the natural taste come through but just add a little to it.

      The sweet potatoes are essentially cooked when you take them out of the IP. The baking part is to caramelize the top. It won’t do this in the steamy environment of the Instant Pot. However, this is a dish that is easily made ahead and given the final bake on T-Day.

    I'm wondering... I want to make sweet potatoes which i put in the oven. Can I just put the sweet potatoes in pressure cooker for maybe 18 mins(regardless of size) so they cook faster, remove, put in a pan, add ingrediants and put into oven to cook all together with brown sugar and syrup

    Do you have to pierce them with a fork?

    FYI, speaking of potato mashers. My mom taught me 40 years ago that cooking Hamburger meat while mashing it with a potato masher cooks the ground beef perfectly. No Big chunks and all uniformly cooked. I won't cook hamburger meat without my potato masher.
