- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil

- Wash and dice the potatoes into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the bell pepper and onion by washing and dicing them into similar-sized pieces as the potatoes.

- Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates.
- Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro just before serving for added flavor and color.
Tips
- Uniform Cutting: Make sure to dice your potatoes, bell pepper, and onion into similar-sized pieces. This ensures even cooking and helps all the ingredients blend harmoniously.
- Crispy Potatoes: For perfectly crispy potatoes, spread them out in a single layer in the skillet and resist the urge to stir too frequently. This allows them to brown nicely!
- Seasoning: Don’t be shy with the chili powder! Adjust the amount to suit your taste preferences—add more for a spicier kick or less for a milder flavor.
- Freshness Matters: Garnish with fresh cilantro just before serving to enhance the dish's flavor and add a pop of color. Fresh herbs can elevate any meal!
- Meal Prep: This dish is perfect for meal prep! You can chop the vegetables ahead of time and store them in the fridge for a quick assembly when you’re ready to cook.
- Customization: Feel free to customize your hash with other ingredients like corn, diced tomatoes, or even some scrambled eggs for added protein!
