Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups small potatoes (Yukon Gold or red)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 0.5 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Thoroughly wash the potatoes and cut them into small, evenly sized cubes. Leave the skin on for added fiber and nutrients.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 more minute, until fragrant.
Add the cubed potatoes to the vegetable mixture. Stir to combine and season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Pour the vegetable broth into the skillet. Stir well and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the potatoes to steam for about 10 minutes.
Remove the lid and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for an additional 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned.
Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet. Stir until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Sprinkle the potato hash with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the hash warm, either as a side dish or as a main breakfast option. Enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
