Salchipapas

3 sausages or hot dogs
5 potatoes, cubed and roasted

salsa rosada:

2T Mayo 
1 sm can tom sauce

This is not a very traditional version of this dish, but there are variations all up and down Latin America. Anyway, here's my variation. I roast the potatoes at 450 for 20 minutes or until they're done. About five minutes before they're done I start frying the sausage or hot dogs. If using the latter, add a little fat of your choice the pan. Once the meat and potatoes are cooked through, combine them, add some tomato sauce, salt, and paper to taste and you're good. Top with some salsa rosada and lime marinated red onion and tomatoes.

American's might know this one as a variation on "poor man's meal", a depression era hot dog and potato skillet recipe. I like the south of the border version a bit more since it has some additional flavor from the lime marinated onions.

Smoky White Beans and Ham

Ingredients

    1 pound dried great northern beans
    3 smoked ham hocks (about 1-1/2 pounds)
    3 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken or beef broth
    2 cups water
    1 large onion, chopped
    1 tablespoon onion powder
    1 tablespoon garlic powder
    2 teaspoons pepper
    Thinly sliced green onions, optional

Directions

    Rinse and sort beans. Transfer to a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Add ham hocks. Stir in broth, water, onion and seasonings. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 30 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes; quick-release any remaining pressure.
    When cool enough to handle, remove meat from bones; cut ham into small pieces and return to pressure cooker. Serve with a slotted spoon. Sprinkle with green onions if desired.
