Instant Pot Campfire Hash (video)
This dinner was so simple with only 10 ingredients but it will definitely live on repeat at my house. I loved it! The smoky flavor from the smoked sausages and smoked paprika just upped it to a new level. I was thinking that this recipe would be good with ham or corned beef in the place of smoked sausage. If you try it let me know!
To make Instant Pot campfire hash you’ll need a steamer basket. I like the Avokado brand silicone steamer basket*. I bought mine on Amazon. It works great in a 6 or 8 quart Instant Pot. I like how it fits a lot of potatoes and lifts easily in and out of the pot without spilling.
You’ll steam the potatoes first and then add in the rest of the ingredients and toss until warmed through. The potatoes get a little soft and almost creamy. If you want them firmer and less soft just pressure cook for less time (4 minutes instead of 6).

Description
Traditionally made over a campfire this potato, smoked sausage and corn dish is much faster and easier when made in your Instant Pot.
Ingredients
Equipment needed: steamer basket*
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of red potatoes, washed and cut into cubes
- 1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 12 to 16 ounces of smoked sausage, halved and sliced
- 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles (I used mild)
- 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Pour 1 cup water into bottom of Instant Pot (1.5 cups for 8 quart pot). Add potatoes and onion into steamer basket.
- Place steamer basket into Instant Pot. Cover Instant Pot and secure lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 6 minutes for soft potatoes or 4 minutes for more firm potatoes.
- When time is up move valve to venting and remove the lid. Remove the steamer basket and set aside. Pour out water and dry bottom of Instant Pot liner. Place liner back into Instant Pot.
- Turn Instant Pot to sauté. Add in the butter and let it melt. Add in the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Stir in the potatoes, onions, sausage, green chiles, corn, smoked paprika, salt (start with ½ tsp and go up from there, if needed) and pepper. Toss well. Heat through and then turn pot to warm or turn off completely.
- Scoop onto plates and enjoy!

Love, Love your recipes!
Could one add fresh green beans to this along with the corn?
Thanks,
Mike
Oh yes that would be great!
I’m always looking for new camping recipes. I won’t be bringing my pressure cooker camping though but I plan to prep my potatoes by cutting them and parboiling, then cooking the onion at the campsite, then adding the potatoes and then adding everything else. I’m really looking forward to this as we LOVE smoked sausage.
If we like this I’ll also add a link to this on my website http://www.wisconsincampinggal.com. Maybe once I have a travel trailer I’ll start brining my pressure cooker 🙂
I hope you like it!
oooo, saving this one for later, it sounds yummmmy!!

It’s so good!
Hey there Karen,
If you used frozen diced potatoes, how long do you think to cook it for?
Thank you!
I would only pressure cook for 1 minute in steamer basket. Let me know how it goes!
