Dr. Dick's (Dyer) Mean and Lean Kidney Bean Hash (cont.)

Directions:

• Heat olive oil in large fying pan. Saute onion until soft.
• Add green and red peppers and saute briefly.
• Add diced potatoes, mix well. Cook for 10 minutes, turning with spatula every 2 minutes.
• While this is cooking, 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 about 5 minutes.
• Season to taste, serve, and enjoy. This serves two or one very hungry person. (I ate it all the first time Dick made it as I was very hungry and it was soooo good!)

Serving Suggestion: For turkey hash, substitute diced turkey for kidney beans. Or you may simply add diced turkey to this recipe for those who want to use up that left-over holiday (or anyday) turkey.
