Dr. Dick's Lean and Mean Kidney Bean Hash
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1/2 green pepper, chopped
- 1/2 red pepper, chopped
- 2 to 3 boiled potatoes, chilled and diced with skins still on
- 1 15-ounce can kidney beans
- 1/2 cup water
- dash of salt
- dash of pepper
- dash of garlic powder
- dash of Tabasco sauce
- dash of Mrs. Dash seasoning
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan. Saute the onion until it's soft. Add the green and red peppers and saute briefly.
Add the diced potatoes and mix well. Cook for 10 minutes, turning with a spatula every 2 minutes.
While the potato mixture cooks, rinse the beans well to remove the "goo," then mash 1/2 to 2/3 of the beans with a potato masher. Mix the beans into the mixture in the frying pan, add 1/2 cup water, and cover. Cook over medium heat for another 5 minutes.
Season to taste. Serve and enjoy.
This serves two or maybe just one very hungry person. (The first time Dick made it, his wife ate it all because she was VERY hungry and it was, as she said, "soooo good.")
