I’m always trying new potato side dish recipes, my Instant Pot mashed potatoes and scalloped potatoes with blue cheese make regular appearances at meal time and this new recipe for sure is going to be on rotation! Full of flavor, this green beans and potato recipe will make dinner a breeze!

How To Make Instant Pot Green Beans and Potatoes

• Get your ingredients ready! Cut the potatoes into quarters and trim and half the green beans.

• Add ingredients to Instant Pot. Cover and cook on high pressure for 9 minutes.

• Once cook time is up, allow to natural release for 5 minutes, then quickly release any remaining pressure. Serve and enjoy!

What do you serve with Instant Pot Green Beans and Potatoes?

This green bean and potato dish is so versatile and can easily be served alongside your favorite mains. It works well with fish, meat, chicken and vegetable dishes. Try it with:

• Marinated Air Fryer Salmon
• Zucchini Mushroom Chicken
• Air Fryer Pork Chops
• BBQ Air Fryer Ribs

Can you make this side ahead of time?

You can make this dish a couple of days ahead of time if you wish and leftovers keep well. Let the potatoes and beans cool to room temperature and transfer to an airtight container. They will keep in the fridge for 2 to 3 days and you can reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.

What are the best potatoes to use?

I like to use red potatoes in this recipe. I love the color they add to the dish and they aren’t very starchy so they hold their shape well when they are cooked. Yukon gold or new potatoes will also work well, but avoid russet potatoes that are very starchy and will fall apart.

A quick and easy Instant Pot side dish

I love how quick and effortless it is to make this side dish. Green beans and potatoes are such a classic Southern side and by making it in a pressure cooker you cut down on hands on time meaning you can get on with the rest of the meal.

Tips

• It will take about 10 minutes for your Instant Pot to rise to pressure. 
• This recipe was prepared in a 6qt Instant Pot. Any 6q pressure cooker will work with this recipe. Keep the cook times the same. 
• Cut the potatoes into similar sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
• These green beans are soft green beans, like Southern Style green beans without the bacon. Also, feel free to add bacon if you’d like 🙂
• Make it vegetarian by using vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.
