Add the tomatoes with their juice to the cooker.
Sprinkle the salt, bouillon and Italian season into the mixture.

Bring the pressure to high and cook 45 minutes then allow the pressure to fall on its own.

You may substitute sweet potatoes for the regular potatoes for something a little different. You may also use 2 C of beef broth instead of the water and wine. If you brown the meat in the pressure cooker place over medium heat and gently brown. Once the meat has been browned add the liquid and proceed as directed in the recipe.
