lengthwise
then into 1/4-inch slices; place into a pressure cooker steamer basket. Sprinkle with salt.

and nutmeg in a small bowl.
Add orange juice to the cooker (see Editor's Note
below). Place the trivet and steamer basket with sweet potatoes into the pot. Sprinkle with brown sugar mixture; dot with butter pieces.
Lock the lid into place and bring the cooker up to full pressure (15 pounds per square inch) over high heat according to manufacturer's instructions. Once pressure reached
reduce heat to low; cook 7 minutes
Quickly release pressure according to manufacturer's instructions. Reserve cooking liquid.
Remove steamer basket from cooker; carefully place sweet potatoes in a serving dish. Return cooker to stovetop; bring cooking liquid to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium; simmer
stirring frequently
until cooking liquid reduced
syrupy
and coats the back of a spoon
5 to 7 minutes.
Pour syrup over sweet potatoes; serve.
Editor's Note:
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and use the correct amount of liquid specified for your pressure cooker. For example
if the cooker requires a minimum of 2 cups of liquid
use 1 cup orange juice and 1 cup water. The extra cooking liquid will be reduced into a sauce on the stovetop after the sweet potatoes are done.
