Helpful Tips on How to Cook a Sweet Potato Gratin in Your Instant Pot.
Place the rack inside the inner pot and then place the springform inside – add tin foil in order to prevent any moisture from seeping through.
This Instant Pot sweet potato gratin is a quick and easy dish to make. Start off by slicing your sweet potatoes really thin.
You don’t need a mandolin to make this appetizer – just use a knife. Slice them as thin as you can without the pieces falling apart.
After you have done this, season them with salt, pepper, and dried garlic. Give them a good mix! You want each slice to have some seasoning on it.
Great! Now it’s time to make the creamy white sauce. It usually takes about 5 minutes to make. Get a small or medium saucepan and pour olive oil in. Let it heat up before adding all-purpose flour. Continue stirring until well combined.
Make sure to add the cream while stirring constantly and heat it until it starts to thicken, then stir continuously. When it reaches this point, turn the heat down and add in the cheese and butter. You can always taste it and see if it needs more salt.
I used a 7-inch round cake pan/18cm wide and a 3.5-inch deep springform pan/9cm deep for this Instant Pot gratin. Cover the bottom of a cake pan or dish with enough potatoes. I usually do 2-3 layers of sweet potatoes before applying the white sauce.
Then I repeat this again and again until I end up with three layers of sweet potatoes and three layers of white sauce. There should also be one layer of cheese (as the top layer)
This I cover with foil to stop any steam coming out of the gratin and making it too wet. You can then build your pressure cooker by filling it with water and a steaming rack, then placing the springform pan on top.
Close the pot and lock the lid. Make sure to set the timer to 30 minutes by turning both knobs and pushing it in.
