• Spatula (scraping bottom of the pan after cooked bacon)
• Spoon

Ingredients Needed

• Fresh Green Beans
• Potatoes

How To Make

Step 1: Turn your Instant Pot to the saute function. Then add in your diced bacon and saute until it is nice and crispy. Remove the bacon and leave the grease in the pot.

Step 2: Turn the saute feature off, and pour in the chicken stock. Use a wooden spoon to scrape and deglaze the bottom of the pot.

Step 3: Add your potatoes, and green beans along with spices into the Instant Pot. Then toss all the ingredients together.

Step 4: Place the lid on and make sure the valve is set to sealing. Pressure cook high manual pressure for 6 minutes. Followed by a quick release of pressure.

Step 5: Once the potatoes and beans are done, open the lid, toss in the bacon, and toss and serve.

Storage

Keep any leftovers you have in the fridge for up to four days. I always tell people to use your best judgment as to if you feel you need to throw them out for going bad.

Each fridge cools differently so if refrigerated properly this recipe will last that long. 

To reheat your potatoes, simply warm up in a pan on the stove. Or toss in the microwave. Either way, works, and boy are they tasty leftover. I almost think the next day flavor is even better than night one!

Notes

You need to use fresh green beans for this recipe. If you happen to use frozen just stir them in at the end of the time the potatoes are cooked. You do not want to pressure cook the frozen beans as they will become too mushy.

Any small potato works great in this recipe. Or dice up russet potatoes.

You can adjust or change up the seasonings you are using in the recipe to flavor the potatoes and green beans.

Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days.

You can double the recipe if you do not reach the overfill line on the side of the Instant Pot.

If you use a russet potato, just dice it up into cubes.
