Ingredients
-
2 slices bacon
-
2 pounds fresh kielbasa, sliced into 2-inch pieces
-
1 medium sweet onion, diced
-
¼ cup dark brown sugar
-
3 large yellow potatoes, chopped
-
2 (16 ounce) packages sauerkraut, drained
-
1 ½ cups chicken broth
-
1 apple - peeled, cored, and diced
-
½ cup beer
-
½ teaspoon sea salt
Directions
-
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select the Sauté function. Add bacon; cook until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Pull bacon out with tongs and place into a bowl. Add kielbasa to the pot; lightly brown on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove with tongs and place into the bowl with bacon.
-
Sauté onion in the pot until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Crumble bacon and add to the pot. Stir in brown sugar. Add potatoes, sauerkraut, chicken broth, apple, beer, and salt. Mix gently.
-
Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
-
Release pressure using the natural-release method for 10 minutes according to the manufacturer's instructions, then release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method. Unlock and remove the lid.
Cook’s Note
You can use yellow or russet potatoes.
If you'd like to substitute liquid smoke for the bacon, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in the pot before adding the kielbasa, and just before adding the broth, stir in 3 drops of liquid smoke. I suggest adding the drops to a teaspoon measure to avoid accidental overuse of the liquid smoke.
