Crispy Potato Skillet
with Snap Pea Slaw & Sour Cream
Beluga lentils, a type of small, black lentil with a nutty flavor, retain a distinct and firm consistency once cooked. We love how they compliment the crispy, refreshing snap peas and creamy, rich vegan sour cream in this hearty potato skillet.

INSTRUCTIONS
Combine lentils and ½ cup water in small saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until lentils are tender, 20 to 24 minutes. Drain any remaining water. (4-serving meal: use 1 cup water) (TIP: To “sort” lentils (as noted in the ingredient list) means to look for and discard any naturally occurring debris or stones.)
Cover potatoes with 1 inch water in large pot and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and let cool.
Combine snap peas, scallion, lemon juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt in medium bowl and toss snap pea slaw. (4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp olive oil)
Place cooled potatoes on clean work surface and use palm of hand to gently press each potato until sides blister open. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add smashed potatoes and cook until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Add bell pepper, garlic, butter, and paprika and cook until bell pepper begins to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp vegetable oil)
Scatter cooked lentils over crispy potato skillet. Serve family-style, topped with snap pea slaw, sour cream, and as much jalapeño as you’d like. Dig in!
