Breakfast Hash Purples

Description
Sorry about the approximate amounts. I make this different every time. We find that the combination of purple, green, red, and white makes a dish that is a visual delight. It's also a low fat replacement for those greasy breakfast hash browns.

Ingredients

 * 1 purple potatoes
 * 1 green onion (amount according to taste)
 * 1 garlic (amount according to taste)
 * 1 red pepper (amount according to taste)
 * salt
 * pepper
 * cayenne pepper powder or paprika (depending on heat desired)

Directions

 * 1) Soak the purple potatoes in a bowl of water for about a half an hour.
 * 2) This makes it very easy to scrub the skins, eliminating the need to peel them and lose those nutrients.
 * 3) After scrubbing, pat them dry and cut them into approximately ¾" cubes.
 * 4) Be careful where you cut them, as they can stain (purple potato juice!).
 * 5) Put them in a mixing bowl.
 * 6) Wash, trim, and slice the green onions.
 * 7) Add to potatoes.
 * 8) Finely chop the garlic and add to potatoes.
 * 9) Wash and cut up the red peppers to taste.
 * 10) I like fairly large hunks of sweet red pepper.
 * 11) Add salt, pepper, and pepper powder to taste.
 * 12) Spray a little bit of pam or other cooking spray in a non-stick roasting pan.
 * 13) Bake in a 400°F oven for approximately ½ hour.
 * 14) This time will vary with the size and amount of the potato pieces.
 * 15) Stir occasionally while baking.
 * 16) I have found that ensuring that they lie in a single layer works the best and yields a crispy, not soggy, crust on the potatoes.
