Episode 271 - Chard, Arugula and Potato Hash

It all started with a half-pound of potatoes on the counter and some arugula sitting in the fridge, begging to be used while they still could be. You know that feeling—when you look at your ingredients and wonder, “What can I make that’s quick, tasty, and a little bit different?” That’s when inspiration struck while at the store: grab some Swiss Chard and make a hash that brings together veggies and carbs in one pan. You really only need a few ingredients. • 2–3 strips thick bacon, diced • 1/2 cup diced onion • 1/2 lb potatoes, diced and pre-boiled (just boil in salted water for about 10 minutes) • A bunch of Swiss chard (remove the ribs, rough chop) • A bag of arugula • Big pinch of salt • Pinch of chili flakes (or more if you like heat) • Olive oil • Splash of water Start by heating up a deep pan and drizzle in a little olive oil. Add the diced bacon. As you can imagine, the kitchen starts to smell amazing as the bacon crisps up. Next, toss in the diced onion, letting it soak up all that smoky bacon flavor. Then come the pre-cooked potatoes so they’re soft and ready to get golden in the pan. You give everything a good toss, letting the onion and potatoes mingle with the bacon. After a couple of minutes, it’s time for the greens. Into the pan they go, with a big pinch of salt and a sprinkle of chili flakes for a little heat. The greens wilt down, turning vibrant and tender. To finish, you splash in a bit of water to deglaze the pan, scraping up all those crispy bacon bits stuck to the bottom. Cook off the water, check the salt, and you’re done. What you’ve got is a hash that’s got it all: crispy, smoky bacon; sweet onion; creamy potatoes; and greens that add a fresh, peppery bite. There’s just enough heat to keep things interesting, and every bite is a perfect balance of flavors and textures. Just pair it with a simple grilled protein. Or, honestly, add some cannellini or garbanzo beans and it’s a meal in a pan. So next time you’ve got some potatoes and greens to use up, remember this story and treat yourself to a pan of Chard, Arugula & Potato Hash. It’s simple, satisfying, and a little bit special.
