How To Make Instant Pot Green Beans and Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup diced sweet onion
  • 1 ½ lbs fresh green beans, ends trimmed
  • 1 lb new baby potatoes
  • 1 cup diced ham, bacon, or ham hock
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth

Directions

  1. Place the diced onions into the bottom of the Instant Pot. Next, add the baby potatoes to the Instant Pot.
  2. Add the fresh green beans on top of the potatoes.
  3. Add the salt and pepper, sprinkling it over the potatoes and green beans. Add the ham to the Instant Pot.
  4. Lastly, pour in the chicken stock or water.
  5. Place the Instant Pot lid on and twist into the locked position. Make sure the valve is set to the sealing position.
  6. Press the manual button and set the time to 5 minutes.
  7. Once the timer has gone off and the Instant Pot has finished pressure cooking allow the steam to naturally release for 20 to 25 minutes. The shorter time will yield firmer green beans.
  8. Carefully using a wooden spoon push the valve to the open position and allow the steam to release.
  9. Once the steam has finished releasing open the Instant Pot lid.
  10. Transfer the cooked potatoes and green beans to a serving bowl before serving.
  11. Makes 6 to 8 servings

Helpful Tips for making Instant Pot Green Beans and Potatoes

  • I put the potatoes on the bottom so they would not smash the fresh green beans. 
  • No chicken broth on hand no problem use water.
  • No leftover ham to use you can use 8 ounces of diced bacon instead.
