Instant Pot Sausage and Potatoes

The easiest meal that you can make in the Instant Pot! This Instant Pot sausage and potatoes with mushrooms and green beans will become your go-to recipe on days when you don’t have much time to cook. It’s so cozy, tasty, and comforting.

Everyone should know a couple of recipes that they can make quickly on days when they don’t have much time to cook. These recipes should be quick, made with simple ingredients, and ready in no time.

Ingredients needed to make this dinner

• Your favorite sausages. You can use cajun sausages, chicken sausage, kielbasa, whatever you like. I normally for veggie sausages to please everyone in our family, as not everyone in our family eats meat.
• Potatoes (white or red), green beans (fresh or frozen, but not canned), red onion, and chestnut mushrooms (or white mushrooms).
• Butter, and seasonings – I usually for cajun or homemade fajita seasoning, garlic powder (sometimes I add onion powder as well), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
• Water or vegetable stock that I make in the Instant Pot.

Prep your ingredients by trimming and slicing the green beans in halves. Slice the sausage, peel and chop the potatoes into medium-sized chunks. Slice the mushrooms into thick slices, and finally, slice the onion into half-moons.

How to make Instant Pot sausage and potatoes?

It’s a straight-forward dump and start recipe. So all you need to do is dump everything in the Instant Pot and switch it on! (see picture below).

Give everything a good mix so that the seasonings are distributed, and don’t worry about the amount of the liquid. 1/2 cup is enough if you’re using a 6-qt Instant Pot. If you’re making this in an 8-qt then add 1 cup instead.

Cover with the lid, and press on MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK (this depends on what model of Instant Pot you have), and set at 5 minutes. Keep in mind that we want the potatoes to have a very soft texture, and it starts breaking down. However, if you prefer your veggies a bit firmer then reduce the cooking time by 1-2 minutes.

Allow the Instant Pot to come to pressure, and cook for 5 minutes. When it’s done, quickly release the steam and carefully open the lid. Give it a quick stir, and serve warm.

If you’re not a fan of mushrooms, omit them. You could also use cubed butternut squash or pumpkin, and add a couple of whole garlic cloves.
