Instructions
Cut the potatoes into cubes about 3/4 of an inch. Peel if desired. Put the potatoes in an Instant Pot steamer basket.
2 pounds potato
Set the Instant Pot on Saute mode and let it heat for 2 minutes. Add the oil along with the bangers, garlic and onion. Stir, turning the sausage occasionally for 5 minutes.
Turn the Instant Pot off and add the beef broth. Stir to deglaze the Instant Pot, making sure there are no bits of onion or sausage stuck to the bottom. Add the Guinness and Worcestershire sauce.
1 cup beef broth, 1 cup Guinness, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Put a trivet in the Instant Pot and place the steamer basket with the potatoes on top. Put the lid on the Instant Pot, making sure the seal is in place and the valve is closed.
Set the Instant Pot for Manual, high pressure for 8 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes for pressure to be reached.
When the pressure cooker finished let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes. Then do a quick release of the remaining pressure.
Take the potatoes off the trivet and put aside for a few minutes. Place the sausages on a serving platter.
Mix the cornstarch with 2 Tablespoons of cold water to form a cornstarch slurry. Stir it into the Instant Pot. Turn the Instant Pot on Saute mode and let it cook, stirring occasionally for 3 minutes to thicken the gravy.
Add the potatoes to a bowl along with the milk, butter, salt and pepper. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes.
4 Tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Serve the sausage and potatoes with the onion gravy.
Notes
If you can't find Irish bangers use another mild flavored sausage.
You can use all beef broth if you don't wish to use Guinness to make the gravy.
I test and make my recipes in a 6 quart Instant Pot. A different model or size of pressure cooker might give you different results.
