Add metal basket into instant pot and place potatoes on top. Pour water over potatoes. Place the lid on the instant pot and seal the pressure valve. Cook on high for 20 minutes, then let the pot naturally release, about 10 minutes. Potatoes are done when a fork goes through easily.
Notes
Click on the time in the instruction to start a timer!How many sweet potatoes you can fit in your instant pot depends on the size of your pot, and how big the potatoes are. I had good sized potatoes, and I fit about 5 in my 6 quart instant pot.
