📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 375°. Heat 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add 1 small green bell pepper, halved, seeds and ribs removed, finely chopped, 1 small onion, finely chopped, and 8 oz. russet potatoes (1 very large or 2 small), peeled, cut into ½" pieces, and cook, stirring often, until pepper and onion are softened and starting to brown slightly and potatoes are tender enough you can smash but not so soft that they are falling apart, 12–⏱️ 16 minutes.

Add two 15.5-oz. cans black beans, rinsed and drained, 1 cup finely chopped cilantro, ½ cup sliced pitted green olives, ½ cup golden raisins, 1 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp.
