I remember when I was eleven years old, we lived for a short time in a single wide mobile home on the prairie of eastern Colorado, just outside of a small town where the population was 100 and that was counting all the cats and dogs.  Guess when we moved there the population grew to 105.  Oops, 107 I think we had two dogs at the time.

Anyway, that year we didn’t have a dishwasher, so my sister and I did the dishes each night, one of us washed and the other dried.  Evidently washing the dishes was the more loathed job, as my mom would have to write our name on the calendar, alternating every other day as to whose turn it was to wash.  I can also remember being the instigator that I was at the time, pouring water over the dishes setting in the dish drainer.  After all, my sister who was conveniently letting them air dry shouldn’t be getting out of her job, should she? Funny the things we remember from childhood.

That’s why one pot meals are great aren’t they.  Only one pot to wash when you are all done, maybe a cutting board, a few utensils and dinner is on the table.  So assign someone to wash the one pot,  after you have put this colorful Potato Kale Hash on their plates for dinner.  If you are like me, I seem to have no problem making plenty of dishes dirty, they should be thanking you that you only got one pot dirty.

 Full of flavor, protein, potassium, B6 and Vitamin C, to name just a few, makes this meal a one pot winner.
