Potato Hash With Peppers and "Bacon"
On days when I'm working through dinner time I try to make something healthy and put it in the refrigerator for the family to warm up later. This is a new spin on the "southern fried potatoes" of my youth. I made these with turkey bacon, but a soy product would work well too. Serve it with a splash of tobasco or some picante sauce.
5 slices of turkey bacon or soy bacon
2 Tbl olive oil
3 medium potatoes, washed and cut into large chunks
1 large red bell pepper, cut into large cubes
1 onion, cut into large chunks
2 celery sticks, cut lengthwise and then sliced
1 poblano chile pepper, seeded and diced
1 jalapeƱo pepper, seeded and diced
3 Tbl fresh cilantro
Cook bacon over medium heat in a large skillet until done. Remove and set aside. Add olive oil to pan then add potatoes and onion, cook for 15 minutes with lid on pan. Stir frequently to make sure it's not sticking. Add the celery, chiles, and red pepper (salt and pepper if you like). Cook another 15 minutes with the lid on the skillet, stirring frequently still. Tear the bacon into bite sized pieces and fold into potato mixture. Sprinkle with cilantro and, if you like, tobasco or picante.
