Turn 6 quart Instant Pot on saute setting. Add oil. While pot is warming, cut sausage into chunks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Saute sausage until lightly browned. Remove and set on plate
1 pound smoked sausage
Saute the onions and garlic in the remaining hot oil until they soften and get a golden cast to them.
1 medium onion, 2 cloves garlic
Keep on Saute setting, add chicken broth, cut potatoes, green beans and browned sausage to Instant Pot.
1 cup chicken broth, 3 - 4 medium potatoes, 12 ounces green beans
Seal and pressure cook for two minutes. When the timer sounds perform a quick release to remove all pressure. Season with salt and pepper and enjoy!
1 teaspoon sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

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.
Only use fresh or frozen green beans, avoid canned beans because Instant Pot will obliterate them.
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!
