I put a beef roast in the slow cooker the other day to have for dinner, with instructions to family members to add potatoes and carrots to it about 1 p.m.
They forgot, and I didn't find out until I got home from work.
Rather than getting upset or rushing around for the next 30 minutes, I pulled out the electric pressure cooker. A few minutes of prep and a few minutes to cook, and the beef roast was happily accompanied by the planned potatoes and carrots in a little under 30 minutes!
Instant Pot Potatoes and Carrots
2 Tbsp. butter or olive oil
1/2 of a large onion, diced
2 - 3 cloves of garlic, minced (1 to 1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic)
4 to 6 long carrots, peeled and cut into 2 inch lengths
4 large or 6 medium potatoes, cubed (peeled if desired)
1 cup beef broth (I also used drippings from a beef roast)
salt and pepper, to taste
Melt the butter in the pressure cooker, then saute onion until almost transparent. Add garlic and carrots and saute 5 more minutes. Add potatoes and beef broth; cover and set vent to "Seal". Set timer to cook on high for 10 minutes, then give it 10 minutes to naturally release pressure before setting the vent to release.
Season and serve!
