Salt/pepper to taste Directions: 1. Heat the oil in a large pot. (I used my Insta Pot set to ‘sauté’on low) 2.

Add the cauliflower and potatoes, stir to coat with oil, and cover again. Cook slowly until potatoes are soft. Add 1 Tbs. of water at a time, if the potatoes are sticking to the bottom of the pot. 4.
