Instructions – Stove Top

If you don’t have an Instant Pot, make this recipe on the stovetop instead. Just follow the instructions above, but use a large pot or Dutch oven. Cook, stirring frequently, over medium heat until the potatoes are tender when poked with a fork. Be mindful of the pot’s liquid, as it can burn if left unattended. Serve hot.
