Can use the instant pot for this easy healthy sweet potato casserole?

A. I prefer to use the instant pot. It’s the easiest, quickest way to make potatoes.

You can use Yukon gold potatoes for an extra creamy mashed potato, but Russet potatoes will work well too.

Combine the potatoes and 1 1/2 cups water. Cover and cook on high pressure/manual for 12 minutes. Once done cooking, use the natural or quick release function and release the steam. Drain the potatoes well.
Once the potatoes are cooked, you’ll mash them up in a large bowl with melted butter, plenty of cheddar cheese, yogurt for creaminess (sour cream also works well), and then thyme, seasonings, and a good amount of black pepper.

Not so difficult to make this cheesy potato casserole and nothing very fancy but so delicious!
