Has anyone cooked this in an InstantPot?

Question

I'm making this tomorrow with dried black beans (currently soaking). Has anyone made this in an InstantPot? I'm wondering how the sweet potato holds up while the beans are getting tender. Thanks.

Yes, you can cook dried black beans and sweet potatoes together in an InstantPot. To ensure both cook well, it’s recommended to layer the sweet potatoes on top of the beans rather than mixing them in. This way, the beans will cook properly while the sweet potatoes hold their shape. Cook the beans on high pressure for 25-30 minutes, and check for tenderness. If the sweet potatoes need more time, you can remove them and continue cooking the beans for a few more minutes. Just make sure to adjust cooking times based on the size and texture of the sweet potatoes.

Here's one more link to replace the NYTimes recipe in the above list. Realized after I posted that it was restricted to member-viewing.

The Principal Cook -No, haven't done it myself but there are several good versions of black=bean sweet-potato chili designed for the instant pot.Here below are links to a few.You can use one of these for both method and ingredients, or use the ingredients from the recipe you like at food52 and the method from one of the others.Either way, the taste combinations sound good and I've put this dish on my "cook soon" list.https://www.wellplated.com/instant-pot-vegetarian-chili/https://cooking.nytimes...https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-sweet-potato-black-bean-chili/
