What Do You Need For Sausage And Potatoes

• Peeled and Diced Potatoes | we used russet potatoes but you could even use small potatoes if you prefer. You could leave whole or dice them in half.
• Smoked Sausage | we reached for Kielbasa but there are so many different kinds of smoked sausage.
• Bell Pepper | Green bell peppers are what we used, but feel free to use any color. If you want more savory do green bell, or more sweet reach for an orange, yellow, or red bell peppers.
• Onion | Yellow or white onions work great in this recipe. They both cook up beautifully adding lots of flavor to your dish.
• Garlic | Minced garlic is going to add a bit more flavor to your dish. You can buy jarred that is pre-minced or use a garlic press to do it yourself.
• Beer or Broth | We used beer but you can easily replace with beef or chicken broth. Ale beer, lagers both work fantastic in this recipe.
• Creole, salt, pepper | Old Bay seasoning is what we used for the Cajun spice. Then add salt and pepper to taste.

How To Make Instant Pot Sausage and Potatoes

Start by adding your oil and onions, peppers, and sausage to your pot. Saute for around 4-5 minutes. Then you will add in your seasoning, potatoes, and beer or broth.

Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes with a quick release. Then stir and spoon up your dish. Sprinkle with more Cajun spice and even a drizzle of lemon juice if you prefer.

Can You Swap Vegetables Out

With this Instant Pot Smoked Sausage you can swap out the vegetables. Add in green beans, broccoli, and any other veggies that might sound good.

Many make it with green beans but our husband does not love green beans so we skip that route. The peppers and onions pair nice with potatoes and sausage.
