Best Instant Pot Candied Yams

This year I decided to prepare Instant Pot Candied Yams after last years  Vegan Baked Candied Yams were such a huge hit  for Thanksgiving at home and with my readers,  After all, I  wanted to make life easier and save as much oven space for my Tofu Turkey, Green Bean Casserole, Cornbread Stuffing, and Sweet Potato Pie

You can literally have delicious candied yams ready in minutes when you use your Instant Pot. An Instant Pot is such a handy time-saving kitchen tool for the modern cook. You can create delicious, healthy meals, so you can get more time to spend with your family and friends.
