Super Hash Browns

Ingredients

• 1 pound (3 medium) potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
• 1 cup bite-size broccoli florets
• 1 cup 1-inch red and/or green bell pepper squares
• 1 cup very thinly sliced carrots
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1-1/2 tablespoons canola oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 3/4 cup (about 3 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream

Directions

* Combine vegetables in an even layer in shallow, 2-quart microwave-safe dish; add water. Cover, venting one corner. Microwave on high about 10 minutes (see note), tossing once after 5 minutes, until potatoes are tender; drain.

* Heat oil in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetables, season with salt and pepper, and saute about 10 minutes, tossing often, until vegetables begin to brown. Spoon onto serving plates, sprinkle with cheese, and dollop with sour cream, dividing equally.

Note: Times are approximate. Adjust times to your own microwave oven.

Makes 4 main-dish or 6 side-dish servings (about 4 cups).
