Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 1 can baked beans
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Wash and dice the potatoes into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size to ensure even cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. The pan should be large enough to allow ingredients to cook without overcrowding.
- Add diced potatoes to the hot pan, spreading them in a single layer. Allow potatoes to cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes to develop a crispy golden-brown exterior.
- Dice the bell pepper and onion into similar-sized pieces, and mince the garlic finely to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Stir the potatoes and add diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Add minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to distribute the seasonings evenly across the vegetables.
- Open the can of baked beans and gently fold them into the potato and vegetable mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, allowing the beans to heat through and the flavors to meld together.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or smoked paprika to enhance the flavor profile.
- Remove from heat and serve hot, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or green onions.
Tips
- Potato Perfection: For the crispiest potatoes, make sure to dice them uniformly and use a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan that retains heat well.
- Don't Overcrowd: Give your ingredients space in the pan to ensure proper browning and prevent steaming instead of crisping.
- Seasoning Secret: Smoked paprika is the key to adding depth and complexity to this dish. Don't be shy with it!
- Customize Your Hash: Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or swap the baked beans for your favorite variety.
- Meal Prep Friendly: This hash can be prepared ahead and quickly reheated, making it perfect for busy mornings.
- Extra Flavor Boost: Consider adding a splash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for additional flavor complexity.
