Simple Breakfast Hash

Simple and barely needs a recipe. But it is so simple & yummy that I had to share.

Servings: 2
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
1 medium potato
1 medium bell pepper - color is your choice (I used 1/2 of a red and green)
1 small onion
1/2 cup vegetable broth (organic low sodium is always preferred)...I do not always measure, use enough to cover the bottom of the skillet...it is essentially used to replace oils or butter, plus it adds some flavor
seasonings: options: basil, tarragon, savory, black pepper

Directions:
Pre-cook the potato slightly in microwave: wash & poke some holes in the skin with a fork (unless you like explodey potatoes in your microwave), place on paper towel and cook for roughly 6 minutes.
Cube the potatoes once cool enough to touch.
Chop peppers and onion.
Saute onions in large skillet. Add peppers, potato, seasoning and stock. Cook while stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes or until heated through, stock has absorbed and peppers are slightly softened.
Eat :)
