    OMGoodness! I've watched other videos where they cooked them for 10 min. I guess it depends on how you want the consistency to be. Love, love your video and watching you narrate it. I love sweet potatoes.

    I was rushing around to make dinner and was also doing dishes and getting the stuff for granola together and DUH!  had to look this up to remember the time for taters as potato salad was requested.  After twice setting it I came back to find them not cooked!  I forgot the cup of water twice!   The joke at the end of your video was fitting…   I watched that part after I realized my problem so all the more fitting for today!  🙂

    Just joined and just starting plant based diet. What milk did you use in the mashed potatoes? My head is spinning with info and I'm excited but such a huge change in what I've done for all my 64 years…here's to hoping it's not too late. Love you style Jill !!

    You are freaking hilarious, you make me smile every time I watch one of your videos. I just got my instant pot at Christmas time this year, and I'm loving it. I have forwarded one of your videos to a friend who is vegan, but without and instant pot, I think you and I may convert her to becoming a pothead Like us. Please keep up the great work, I am now a subscriber. Best wishes, Paula from Edmonton Alberta Canada.

    What's the difference between steam and manual? I've seen guides about using both when cooking sweet potatoes, my pot is in the mail – but ideally I'd like to cook everything on manual (so I don't have to think all that much)

    Also, if I wanted to cook brown rice and sweet potatoes (whole) together, would you recommend doing the same technique you use for rice (22 mins manual) and just having the sweet potatoes in a basket above? Is the same quantity of water fine or is more needed?

    Thanks

    If you use a silicone flan dish or a silicone steamer flat basket you could do both sorts and just lift the bottom ones out tip the water and carry on as you did in video. I find less water in pot makes for creamer mash.

    Nice videos! We got our first IP a month or so back on Amazon's Prime day; took me only 3-4 weeks before I went and found another. I use a steamer basket similar in design to yours but it it has a short tool to grab onto the post where yours has the ring for removing it. I was wondering though if, in your case a heavy piece of heavy wire with a hooked end would work better then your chopstick; maybe the hooked end of a metal coat hanger?
