Braised Winter Greens with Chickpeas, Onion and Garlic, Crash Hot Potatoes

greenspotatoes Potatoes from Vegan Yum Yum, greens from Orangette Yes, so, I may have mentioned that I was addicted to these potatoes? Like, crazy, make them two days in a row addicted? This time I went all out crazy, it was totally Potatoes-Gone-Wild. I mashed them super flat with my potato masher, then I drizzled plenty of olive oil over them and sprinkled them with salt, pepper, nutritional yeast, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Oh yes, it was madness. And they came out even better than the day before, even crispier and creamier and saltier and more delicious. My boyfriend especially was a fan of these. I used six sort of smallish red potatoes, and the boyfriend and I ate them all. (I had eaten one before I even served dinner.) We are smashed potato crazy. To balance our potatoes gone wild, we had the sensible chard and chickpeas. This is a super simple recipe, just chard, chickpeas, onion, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice, but it's one of those totally-delicious-in-its-simplicity recipes. It was a great balance for my potatoes gone wild, and quite yummy in its own right. Once of those recipes that you feel good eating, because it's tasty and good for you and almost slightly earnest. I thought the chickpeas especially really shined here. My boyfriend kind of shunned this though, I think it was too much chard for him. Local: Chard, onion
