Instructions
 

  1. Fill a medium pot with water and 2 teaspoons of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. Peel potatoes and chop into 4 pieces each. Carefully lower potatoes into the boiling water. Boil for 15-20 minutes or until fork tender.
  3. Turn off the heat. Strain the water from the potatoes and place the potatoes back into the empty pot.
  4. To the pot, add the butter, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, pepper and broth. Use a potato masher to mash everything together until mostly smooth.
  5. In a medium fry pan, add olive oil, sliced peppers and ¼ teaspoon salt. Saute on medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes until lightly charred. Scoop veggies out of the pan and transfer to a bowl or plate.
  6. Add remaining 1 teaspoon of oil to the pan, and add the black beans, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, chili powder. Cook for 3-5 minutes, on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through.
  7. Optional: Reheat the mashed potatoes if they are no longer warm over medium heat, and add 1-2 tablespoons more broth if needed to thin out the mixture. Mix all together.
  8. Transfer the warm potato mixture to a large serving bowl or two individual bowls.
  9. Top with a layer of sour cream, sauteed peppers, cooked black beans, scallions, and parsley or cilantro. Add radish as garnish if you desire too. Enjoy right away!
