Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes cut into bite sized pieces
- 12 ounces frozen green beans
- 1 pound smoked sausage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Turn 6 quart Instant Pot on saute setting. Add oil. While pot is warming, cut sausage in half lengthwise and then cut into largest sections that will fit in the Instant Pot.
- Saute sausage until lightly browned. Remove and set on plate.
- Add chicken broth, cut potatoes and green beans to Instant Pot. Seal and pressure cook for two minutes. When the timer sounds perform a quick release to remove all pressure.
- Add sausage to pot and serve warm
Notes
- Browning sausage is optional, but browning does add flavor.
- Any kind of liquid will work, but chicken broth adds the most flavor to the potatoes.
- Cut potatoes into bite-size pieces so they can cook in 2 minutes
- Use only frozen green beans, avoid canned beans because Instant Pot will obliterate them.
- We like Italian cut green beans because they are bigger, so they can cook together with the potatoes.
- All cooking appliances and conditions are different, so you should test these times and guidelines first in your own appliance to determine what adjustments may be needed!
