Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes, diced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and dice the potatoes into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size to ensure even cooking.
- Chop the bell pepper and onion into similar-sized pieces to create a consistent texture throughout the hash.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, ensuring the entire surface is evenly coated.
- Add diced potatoes first, spreading them in a single layer to allow maximum contact with the hot pan surface for crispy browning.
- Cook potatoes for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and promote even golden-brown coloration.
- Add chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet, stirring to combine with the potatoes.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste and ensuring even distribution of seasonings.
- Continue cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender and potatoes are crisp and golden.
- Gently fold in the drained and rinsed black beans, heating them through for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates, garnishing with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or cilantro if desired.
Tips
- Potato Perfection: Ensure your potato cubes are uniform in size for even cooking and maximum crispiness. Pat potatoes dry before cooking to achieve that golden-brown exterior.
- Pan Power: Use a cast-iron skillet if possible – it provides the most even heat distribution and creates the most incredible crispy texture.
- Don't Overcrowd: Give your vegetables space in the pan. Overcrowding leads to steaming instead of browning, which means less flavor and less crispy goodness.
- Seasoning Secret: Don't be shy with salt and pepper. Season in layers as you cook to build depth of flavor throughout the dish.
- Bean Brilliance: Add black beans towards the end of cooking to prevent them from becoming mushy and to keep their perfect texture.
- Herb Hack: Fresh herbs are not just a garnish – they add a burst of freshness and complexity to your hash. Experiment with parsley, cilantro, or chives.
- Meal Prep Magic: This hash can be prepared ahead and reheated, making it perfect for busy mornings or meal planning.
