Chile Verde Baked Potatoes

Baked Potatoes are the perfect vehicle for just about anything, we do baked potato tacos, chili, even baked potato pizzas! One of our fave toppings is chile verde, can't go wrong with super tender pork with a tasty green sauce. This is another of my go to pressure cooker recipes, start to finish in less than an hour.
All that's needed is a dollop of sour cream for this
simple yet delicious meal.
Chile Verde Baked Potatoes
Ingredients:
  • 4-6 potatoes, baked*
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2-3 pounds of pork, cut into large cubes
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 1/4 cup of salsa verde
  • 2 teaspoons of chicken bullion
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions:
Heat oil over medium-high heat in pan or pressure cooker (if it has a browning option). Brown pork for 2-4 minutes. Add the onion and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients, cover pressure and bring to high pressure according to manufactures instructions. Once pressure is reached, cook for 30-35 minutes. Release pressure according to your manual.
Shred pork with two forks. Serve over the potatoes with your favorite toppings-sour cream, cheese, green onion, etc.

Yield: 4-6 servings

* I "bake" my potatoes in the pressure cooker as well. You can do this by wrapping each potato in foil. Place them on a trivet or a few crumpled pieces of foil so that they are elevated a little bit. Add 1.5 cups of water. Cover pressure cooker, bring it to high pressure and cook potatoes for 10-12 minutes. Release pressure according to your manual. Leave them wrapped while you are making the pork, this keeps the potatoes warm until you are ready to use them.
