Ingredients
4 red potatoes
2 1/2 cups fresh kale, chopped (curly or Italian variety)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (15 oz) can low-sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
Directions
Rinse the red potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch cubes, leaving the skin intact for added nutrition and texture.
Wash and roughly chop the kale, removing any thick center stems and discarding them.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, stirring frequently, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the onion begins to soften and lightly brown at the edges.
Add the diced potatoes, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper to the skillet. Stir to coat the potatoes with oil and spices. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are just beginning to soften on the outside.
Add the chopped kale and drained black beans to the skillet and stir gently to combine all ingredients.
Continue cooking uncovered for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring gently, until the kale is tender and the black beans are heated through.
Divide the skillet mixture among serving bowls. Top each portion with 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt and serve warm.
Comments
Every ingredient is standard stock at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, and ALDI in Charlotte, with no special trips required. The dish costs roughly $6 to $7 total, or about $1.75 per serving—driven mainly by the red potatoes and fresh kale, both cheap. The stated 33 minutes is honest for dicing potatoes and onion, sautéing, and simmering; this is genuinely a weeknight-friendly one-pan meal. However, the skillet format and reliance on fresh kale mean leftovers are mediocre when reheated, the kale wilts further, and the yogurt dollop doesn't improve day-old texture, limiting this to a same-night dish for a family that eats together.
