15-minute breakfast potatoes

Ok, you're hungry, you want something filling and satisfying ... but what?! How about 250 calories of deliciousness? You can customize this with various herbs or flavors. Portions below are per person:

1. On medium-high heat, melt 1 tbsp vegan butter or olive oil in a big saucepan.

2. Chop 1/2 - 1 potato into 1 cm pieces. Dice a wedge of onion (or 2 shallot or garlic bulbs). Fry them in the oil/butter for 2-3 min. until the onion is translucent, stirring once or twice.

2. Season with 1/2 tsp. dried herbs or peppers. (Options: Italian or French herbs, Korean red pepper, chili powder, a splash of smoke flavor, etc.) Cover and fry about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Turn down the heat to medium-low. Top the potatoes with sprouts, chopped lettuce, or other young greens plus 2 tbsp liquid (your choice: tea, water, almond milk, etc.) Cover and steam for 2-3 minutes until the greens are slightly wilted.

4. Take off the heat. Stir. Optional: if you have it, top with fresh chopped dill or parsley. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of black pepper to taste. For added flavor and color, sprinkle with powdered turmeric (yellow) or smoked paprika (red).

On the dinner plate, I surround mine with a cut tomato for pretty color.
