  • 4 1/2 oz cans chopped clams; juice drained

  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 cups half & half
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon pepper

Method

    Turn your instant pot to sauté mode. Once your pot becomes hot, add in your oil. then add in your white onions. Stir and cook for about three minutes.

    Add to your instant pot, with the onions, your clams, and corn starch. Mix well.

  • Step 3

    Add in your potatoes, salt, pepper, water, and half-and-half. Stir well.

    Place your lid on the instant pot. Set your instant pot to high pressure for 3 Minutes.

  • Step 5

    Once your instant pot is done cooking, do a quick release by bringing the valve toward you and opening the pressure. Once your instant pot comes to a full release, Open the Insta pot.
