PORK CHOPS IN THE PRESSURE COOKER

By gbvampy1

Notes
Notes: For the green pepper and onion, I usually chop these
roughly. However I do not leave them in big pieces. This way,
they dissolve a bit, and my kids cannot find them.

For the carrots, I leave them in 1 1/2 - 2 inch pieces, so they do not
dissolve. For the potatoes, Russet potatoes hold their shape best. In
this version, I did use sweet potatoes. Even with keeping the pieces
big, the potatoes still broke down once cooked.

Regarding the amount of carrots and potatoes to use: it really
depends upon the size of the carrots and potatoes, and the size of
your pressure cooker. I only used four potatoes, because they were
so big.
