2 cups potatoes, diced into 1/4 inch sections

3/4 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 medium yellow onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, chopped

1 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped

1/2 tbsp. olive oil

2 tsp. fresh chives, chopped

1/2 tsp. sea salt (or to taste)

Dash of paprika

Dash of dried thyme

3 cups water

Serves 5.

Instructions:

Add all ingredients to a crock pot. Stir, and cook on high heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. After 2 hours, mash the potatoes a little (but not all the way) with a potato masher. Reduce heat to low, and continue cooking for another 20 to 30 minutes, stirring when necessary.
