Notes

  • Here's a post on how to cook potatoes in an instant pot.
  • This recipe is part of my “chickpea series.” Cook a big batch of dried chickpeas (see this blog post), and try one of my recipes that calls for cooked chickpeas! You can also use canned chickpeas but dried beans taste better.
  • feel free to adjust any of the ingredients to taste - you can't go wrong. if you like potatoes, add more! same goes for everything else.
