This recipe takes a healthier spin on potato hash. A lot of potato hash recipes I see online use bacon fat or a lot of oil or butter. If you’re looking for something more nutritious, this one is for you. This recipe takes the essence of the potato hash but adds swiss chard making it lighter and more nourishing.

Miso Sauce: The addition of miso sauce push the deliciousness of potatoes and chard over the edge. I use white miso which is less salty than other kinds. If you use a different kind, cut back on soy sauce accordingly.
