Notes
Brown the beef well before pressure cooking, as this makes the sauce more flavorful. Use medium potato pieces so they cook without falling apart. When opening the pressure cooker, wait until all pressure has been safely released before removing the lid. For a thicker sauce, let it simmer uncovered for a few minutes after the potatoes are cooked.
