platter. Add the stock to the pressure cooker,
scraping up any stuck particles. Layer half of
the potato and onion slices in the pressure
cooker, sprinkling with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Place a bay leaf on top. Arrange the chops
over the potatoes and onions and add another

of potato and onion, again season with salt,
pepper and nutmeg. Pour in the wine and add
the remaining bay leaf. Lock the lid into place
