- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Pour 1 ½ cups of water into bottom of Instant Pot. Add sliced potatoes into steamer basket. Drop the steamer basket into the Instant Pot.
- Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 2 minutes for al dente potatoes or 3 minutes for soft potatoes. When time is up move valve to venting and remove the lid. Set aside steamer basket for later. Dump out the water in bottom of pot and dry out the pot.
- Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in 1 Tbsp of the butter. Add in the smoked sausage and brown for about 2 minutes on each side.
- Add in the remaining butter and let melt. Sprinkle in the flour, a tablespoon at a time and whisk well. Add chicken broth, whisk until smooth. Stir in the milk, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and stir until mixture has thickened.
- Turn off Instant Pot. Stir in a half cup of shredded cheddar and sour cream. Fold in the potatoes. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Use an air fryer lid to melt the cheese (350 degrees for 2 minutes) or simply place normal lid on top and let melt on the Keep Warm setting for 3-4 minutes.
