Savory Instant Pot Mashed Sweet Potatoes

I love sweet potatoes, and I especially love them mashed. But I do not particularly care for recipes that add sugar and such to them to make them even sweeter.  This recipe avoids that and spices the sweet potatoes up instead.

Pressure cooking the potatoes in the Instant Pot makes it nice and easy to make  everything quickly in one pot. This recipe uses a blend of savory herbs. If you are not a fan of any of them, simply leave them out.  This recipe taste fine without the added spices.  Serve with extra butter.
