Equipment

1 pressure cooker
1 potato masher

Ingredients

2 tbsp Butter
1 onion diced
1 head cabbage sliced
4 lbs russet potatoes chunked
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup milk
4 slices bacon cooked and diced
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 green onions chopped

Instructions

Set the pressure cooker to the sauté function.
Add butter and let it melt, then stir in the onions and sliced cabbage.
Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is soft and the onions turn translucent.
Add the chopped potatoes into the pot.
Pour in the chicken broth. Sprinkle in salt and pepper for seasoning.
Secure the lid and make sure the valve is set to "sealing."
Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
When finished, perform a quick pressure release by carefully turning the valve to "venting" until the float valve drops.
Open the lid and pour in the milk. Use a potato masher to combine and mash all the cooked ingredients until smooth or slightly chunky, depending on your preference.
For serving, sprinkle with green onions, crispy bacon bits, or extra melted butter. The dish can also be topped with a dollop of sour cream if desired.
