1 Cornish Game Hen

a little olive oil

garlic powder

paprika

salt & pepper

3 potatoes

4 cloves of garlic

butter

sour cream

flour (for gravy)

Turn on sauté mode and when it says hot, add a little olive oil.

Add seasoned hen breast side down to the hot pot. I seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Let brown for about 5 minutes, then flip over.

I placed 1 cup of water in and put the trivet over the bird so I could stack potatoes on top.

I peeled and quartered 3 potatoes and 4 cloves garlic and stacked on trivet and closed and locked lid.

Set on Manual/High Pressure for 15 minutes (if thawed) with NPR.

Remove potatoes and garlic and mash with butter, sour cream and I used a little drippings from the pan because I was out of milk.

I put the hen in an oven proof dish and baked in oven for 20 minutes at 425°. It only needs about 10, but mine was not fully cooked after 10.

For the gravy, I just added about a tablespoon of arrowroot flour to ½ cup hot water and stirred into the drippings in the instant pot and added salt and pepper.
