potatoes, greens, and black beans

 Having a bag of potatoes on sale, greens growing like crazy in my garden, and several jars of black beans, it was time to make this Potato Black Bean Skillet.  Issues are that I can never get diced potatoes nice and cooked and crispy, so I may try parboiling next time.  Or canning potatoes and using those.  That would be good and make it very easy. 

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 lbs red potatoes, diced
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 (6 oz) bag fresh spinach (I used mizuna)
  • 1 (15 oz) can no-salt-added black beans, drained & rinsed
  • 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt (yeah, I used sour cream)
  • I added some smoked paprika.  And a lot of pepper.  And some salt.  Would also be good with hot sauce
Preparation

1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add potatoes, chili powder, garlic, onion & pepper. Cover & cook 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2. Add spinach & beans. Cook 3-5 minutes or until spinach is wilted, stirring gently.

3. Remove from heat, top with yogurt & serve.

Tips

Try using sweet potatoes next time with cinnamon & brown sugar instead of red potatoes & cayenne to change up the flavor.
