I don’t have a steamer basket. Can I cook the potatoes in the pot with water, then dump out the water?
Do you have the metal insert that came with the IP that raises food up a bit? If you cook the potatoes directly in the water, they will become water logged.
What can i use instead of coconut milk? Is regular cows milk okay as I’m not vegan?
Any milk or non-dairy milk you want will work!
You sure can.
So I started making this and realized I didn’t have cinnamon like I thought so I found some pumpkin spice left over from another recipe and tossed it in instead.
Well, tastes just like pumpkin pie. So you know. There’s that. 😍
I bet that was good! Thanks for letting me know 🙂
Thanks for all these Awesome recipes
