Instant Pot Kielbasa and Sauerkraut with Potatoes

Start a multi-functional pressure cooker, such as an Instant Pot, and switch it to its Sauté mode. Add some bacon into the pot; cook until it reaches a crispy state, taking about 8 to 10 minutes. Use tongs to carefully remove the bacon from the pot and transfer it to a separate container.

Next, add some kielbasa to the pot; cook until it's lightly browned on all sides, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the kielbasa with tongs and place it alongside the bacon in the container.

In the same pot, sauté some onions until they become soft and tender, taking about 2 to 3 minutes. Now, crumble the cooked bacon into the pot and stir in some brown sugar to add a touch of sweetness.

Add diced potatoes, sauerkraut, chicken broth, sliced apples, a type of beer, and salt to the pot. Mix everything together gently.

Close the lid of the pressure cooker and ensure it's securely locked in place. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to set the high-pressure mode, then set a timer for 12 minutes. Allow about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure inside the cooker to build up.

After waiting for the specified time, release the pressure using a natural-release method for 10 minutes according to the manufacturer's instructions. Then, carefully release any remaining pressure using a quick-release method. Finally, unlock the lid and remove it to reveal your finished dish
