Spicy Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes PPCXL Style

Anyone whom knows me knows I love my kitchen gadgets!  My new favorite kitchen appliance is my 10qt Power Pressure Cooker XL electric pressure cooker.  I bought this baby at Bed Bath & Beyond for approximately $190CAD with the 20% off coupon.  I suggest everyone buy one even if you just start with the 6qt.  You will probably never use your crockpot slow cooker again after trying this machine out.  The way this cooks it forces pressurized steam through your food to cook it and in the process infuses it with flavour.  The cherry on top is that after the machine pressurizes it only takes a fraction of the regular time it would normally take to cook things!

Tonight I made my version of spicy cheesy scalloped potatoes in my PPCXL it took 7 minutes to cook.  

Here's the recipe.

First of all I sprayed my insert with olive oil to ensure easy clean up.

15 sm/med potatoes sliced with my mandolin they filled my pot about 2/3 to the fill line.

1lrg yellow onion diced

I use epicure spices but you can use any brand or combination you like here is mine

1tbsp chipotle bacon (epicure)

1tbsp herb & garlic (epicure)

1tbsp onion & bacon (epicure)

1/2 tsp black pepper

2 tbsps butter cut up in pieces

1 1/2 cups fat free cream (you could use milk if you like)

1 cup fat free sour cream (you can use full fat if you like)

1 cup water

Mix it all together put lid on and set on rice/risotto for 7 Minutes 

When it's done do a quick release

Add 1 1/2 cups of sharp cheese (or any combination of cheese you like)

It just amazes me how fast and good everything turns out in the PPCXL. I am going to be sharing all my recipes here as I try old recipes I've adapted and new one I will experiment with.  Please comment below if you have a recipe idea you would like me to try.
