How do I make Herbed Green Beans and Potatoes?

1. Trim and cut fresh (washed) green beans and place them into a large bowl.
2. Take your small potatoes and slice them in half or quarters to that the pieces are all relatively the same size.
3. In a small bowl, melt butter and add in the seasonings and garlic, stir together. 
4. Toss in your potatoes and green beans and mix well so that each piece is coated.
5. Now add your potatoes and green beans to the pressure cooker.
6. Pour in the chicken broth and close the lid.
7. Set your pressure cooker to manual pressure cook for 6 minutes with a quick release.
8. Open the lid and stir in your crumbled bacon.

What kind of potatoes should I use? 

I personally prefer to use Yukon Gold potatoes or a 1 ½ pound bag of baby new potatoes. You can choose to use red potatoes or even a combination of any of these and still get great results.

Just make sure that the potatoes you use are all cut into similar sized pieces for the best cooking results. 

Russet potatoes can be used but may result in a grainy or mushy texture when finished.

Can I use canned green beans? 

Using canned green beans is not a good idea. Please don’t do this.

During the cooking process the canned green beans would break down far too much and create a mushy and unappetizing dish that no one will want to eat.

For the best results, I highly recommend sticking with fresh green beans.
