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.
