Instant Pot Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowls with Sausage Gravy | PALEO, Whole30

Servings: 4 bowls
Calories: 626kcal

Ingredients

For the Potatoes

  • 1 cup water
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes

For the Sausage Gravy

  • 1 lb pork breakfast sausage
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • pinch lots of salt & pepper to taste

Optional: parsley, to garnish

    Instructions

    For the Potatoes

    • Place a steaming basket or rack in the Instant Pot and add water.
    • Scrub the sweet potatoes until skins are clean, and place them on top of the steaming rack.
    • Cover and place vent on the lid to "sealing".  Set on "steam" program and set the time for 10 minutes.
    • When finished, allow the pressure to reduce naturally (can take up to 25 minutes).

    For the Sausage Gravy

    • Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until crumbled & no longer pink.  Transfer the sausage to a separate plate or bowl, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
    • Leave your skillet on medium heat, and add the flour to the fat.  Mix with a wooden spoon until it thickens to a paste texture.
    • Add the milk a little at a time, whisking as you pour.  Continue whisking as it bubbles & thickens to your liking (this takes longer for the almond milk version).
    • Once it reaches the thickness you prefer, add salt & plenty of black pepper.  Stir the cooked sausage in, and heat through.
    • Serve hot, scooped over cooked sweet potatoes.

    Notes

    • If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can steam the potatoes or bake them in the oven!
    • To substitute almond for coconut in the gravy, use:
      • 1 1/2 cups almond milk (in place of coconut milk)
      • 2 Tbsp almond flour (in place of coconut flour)
