3 stalks celery thinly sliced

5 cups vegetable stock or chicken stock
1/4 cup dill weed fresh
1 x salt to taste
1 x black pepper to taste

Directions

Heat the butter in the cooker. Saute the leeks and celery for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, cut the potato slices in half. Add the potatoes and stock. Lock the lid in place and over high heat bring to high pressure. A djust heat to maintain high pressure and cook for 5 minutes.

Let the pressure drop naturally or use a quick release method. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape.

Pour the puree back into the pot. Stir in the dill (if desired) and add salt and pepper to taste. Reheat thoroughly and serve.

Variation:

For a creamier, more elegant version of this rustic country dish, puree the entire mixture, but don't overprocess or the potatoes will become gummy.

100% Parmesan Chicken

This was nice, but could be improved. I'd add garlic to the coating next time and have something with a sauce accompanying. I had potato wedges and stir-fried mange tout. It needs something 'wet' with it. Chldren enjoyed it. I added cayenne pepper instead of black, which was nice.
