Ingredients

  • 8 strips bacon cut into small pieces
  • ¾ cup chicken stock
  • 2 pounds red potatoes quartered
  • 1 ½ pounds fresh green beans ends removed
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Set Instant Pot to Saute and place bacon inside. Cook bacon until crisp, then remove bacon from Instant Pot leaving grease in the bottom of the pot.
  • Turn off Instant Pot and add chicken stock. Using a spatula, de-glaze pot by scraping off stuck-on bacon pieces from the bottom of the pot.
  • Add diced potatoes and green beans. Season with parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and coat ingredients with stock and bacon grease.
  • Place the pressure cooker lid on Instant Pot and seal the vent. Set the pot to pressure cook for 6 minutes. Do a quick release of pressure once the time is done.
  • Once the Instant Pot potatoes and green beans are done, you will then add bacon and stir to combine.
  • Then serve and enjoy your Instant Pot green beans and potatoes recipe.

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.
