  2. Cover properly and pressure cook for 15 mins- btw only start timing it when it starts to whistle. So that means its actually in the pot for more than 15… Take note of this.
  3. When it's time, turn off the heat and follow your pressure cooker instructions to avoid getting scalded with boiling liquid!
  4. After opening, bring it back to the stove. Taste and adjust accordingly. Add your potatoes and the remaining onions, garlic. Simmer on medium heat covered. About 10 mins.
