When vessel is depressurized, pierce sweet potatoes to make sure they're cooked through. Knife should easily slide when inserted. If cooked through, remove sweet potatoes using tongs and set on a plate to slightly cool. Slice the skin and remove skins. (They will come off easily)If your sweet potatoes are not cooked through, which may depend on their size, return them to the Instant Pot and cook for 5 minutes longer.
Return "naked" potatoes to the Instant Pot. Add butter, salt and honey. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes to your liking.
