Toss the mixture and let it marinate in the fridge for 3 hours or longer.

Peel and chop the potatoes into large pieces.

Chop 2 onions and set aside.

Rinse the Instant Pot and set it to sauté mode.

Add hot oil to the pot and sauté the marinated goat meat for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Add 1 cup of water to the pot and a generous amount of salt.

Scrape the bottom of the pot to pull up any browned bits.

Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set it to manual pressure for 30 minutes.

Once cooking is complete, release the steam from the pot.

Break up some of the potatoes to thicken the liquid, ensuring they are not too soft or tough.
