Pressure Cooker Boozy 'Taters or Marsala Wine Potatoes Side

spacer
These potatoes don't taste boozy at all as most of the alcohol evaporates during cooking, leaving just that  extra kick of sweetness and flavor. Leaving the skins on the potatoes makes this recipe even faster, and healthier!  The skins of the potatoes are full of vitamins and minerals including 18% of the recommended daily allowance of iron and 7.5 grams of protein! Throw that bit of knowledge  around at your next dinner party as you serve this quirky skin-on potato side dish!


Pressure Boozy 'Taters or Marsala Wine Potatoes Side
4-5 Medium Potatoes, diced
1 cup of Marsala, Vin Santo, or any other sweet dry wine (or vegetable broth)
1 sprig of Rosemary
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

Wash the potatoes well, scrubbing the skins with a brush or a scrubby-sponge.

In the pressure cooker, with the lid off on medium heat, add a swirl of olive oil.

When the oil is hot add the potatoes, salt, pepper and Rosemary. Swoosh around in the pan for about 5 minutes.

Add the liquor, being careful to scrub all the yummy bits stuck to the bottom of the pan and incorporating them in the sauce.

Close and lock the lid and turn the heat to high. When the pan reaches pressure, put the flame to low and count 6 minutes cooking time. When time is up, release all of the vapor and open the pan.

Serve!

    Alcohol evaporating during cooking is a myth.

    I wish food bloggers would stop spreading this one. It can be physically harmful.

    Thanks for the link! I don't see a percentage of alcohol "not evaporating" for pressure cookers - which are super heated nor for deglazing a pan(which is so often used during cooking).

    I can confirm in that in this recipe, you don't TASTE the alcohol after cooking this recipe and SOME does evaporate.

    A google search later I learned that "alcohol evaporates at 172°F (78°C)" and since pressure cooking reaches temperatures of of 212-250°F/121°C I can now confirm that, in this recipe at least, the alcohol does indeed evaporate!

    I got my info here:

    Not being a scientist, I equate tasting the alcohol as an indicator to it's presence and strength... and now I see that I'm not too far off!

    Ciao,
