I love this easy, simple dish that goes from start to fork in only 35 minutes. Flavorful ground beef, tender potatoes and just the right touch of savory cheddar combine for a weeknight dinner that will have everyone asking for seconds. The Instant Pot (get yours here: https://amzn.to/2QlkaDf) makes it all possible.

And did we mention this is a one-pot meal? Having a dinner that comes together fast is only half the battle if it dirties every dish in the kitchen. This one-pot wonder is not only fast to prepare, it’s a snap to clean up.
To peel or not to peel? In this recipe, the choice is yours. Although many people choose to peel their potatoes before cooking, leaving the skin on could be a healthier choice. The potato skin not only adds fiber and nutrients, but it also helps the flesh of the potato retain its nutrients.
Pro Tip: For most types of cooking, but especially in the Instant Pot, ingredient thickness is the key to consistent results. To get perfectly sliced potatoes, the tool of choice is a mandolin, and we really like this one: https://amzn.to/2CA58UY. To reduce the chance of a burn notice, allow the pot to cool off before layering the ingredients in step 5.
