Instant Pot Colcannon

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1/2 cup diced bacon
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups (about 2 pounds) cubed potatoes
• 4 cups (about 1 pound) shredded cabbage
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1. Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode. Add the olive oil, onion, bacon, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is browned and the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the potatoes, cabbage, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Secure the lid and set the pressure release valve to Sealing. Select Manual/Pressure Cook and set the cooking time to 4 minutes.
3. When the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then move the pressure release valve to Venting to release any remaining pressure. Carefully open the lid.
4. Stir in the cream and parsley. Serve warm.
