Equipment

• Electric Pressure Cooker (6 or 8 quart)

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon minced onion optional
• 1 pound smoked sausage sliced into ½ inch pieces
• 1 cup chicken stock see note
• 2 pounds potatoes cubed
• 32 ounces canned green beans drained
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

Instructions

• Turn Instant Pot to saute and allow to heat up for a minute or two.
• Add in olive oil, sausage, and the minced onion. Saute for 2-3 minutes, or until the sausage begins to be brown and the onions soften. Turn the Instant Pot OFF.
• Add in the stock and scrape up the browned bits on the bottom of the inner pot.
• Add in potatoes on top of the sausage and sprinkle with the Cajun seasoning. Add drained green beans on top of sausage. 
• Close the Instant Pot and seal the vent knob to sealed.
• Hit manual or pressure cook and adjust cook time to 2 minutes on HIGH pressure. For the Ultra model, hit Ultra, then adjust to high pressure and then adjust to cook for 2 minutes.
• Once cook time has elapsed, let pressure release naturally for at least 5 minutes. Then do a quick release of pressure by hitting the vent knob from sealed to venting, being careful to stand away from the steam being released. You can also let pressure release naturally.
• Stir together the ingredients and serve.
