4 small russet potatoes, peeled and diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 large carrot, peeled and diced
1/2 medium red bell pepper, diced
3 medium green chiles, roasted, peeled and diced (or 3 or 4 small cans of diced green chile)

2 Tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
1 Tbsp garlic powder
