So easy to make and it turned out amazingly delicious!!!
My family loved this recipe ..So good ..came out perfect:)
Enjoyed but next time will substitute bacon grease for olive oil and cut it back a little. Fresh garlic didn’ t add enough flavor for us so next time will also add some dry roasted garlic. Insta pot took 15 minutes fantastic!
Can you use collard greens for the greens? I grow lots of collards. I think i would use bacon grease with the collards which is my usual way of cooking them. Adding the potatoes sounds very good.
Potatoes turned to mush. Too much garlic. I would cook gornonly 10-12 minutes and use half garlic. Otherwise good.
Addicting!!
Must love garlic, lemon, & olive oil though, there’s tons of it in there! 🙂
So good-i ate it as a hearty/healthy lunch. Used chicken stock instead of the water and didnt add salt.
“5 in potatoes”
Is that potatoes that are 5 inches long, and if so, how many?
I also would love to know how well collards would work with this.
Pretty useless without knowing what “5 in potatoes” means.
This is my favorite so far!!! Try it with sweet potatoes you won’t regret it!!!
I make this with kale, very good. I cut the olive oil back to 3/4 C
Could I use frozen spinach?
