1 Place the beans and potato in a large pot. Add cold water to cover by 1/2 inch. Bring to a simmer and cook until the beans are very soft and falling apart and all the water is absorbed.
2 Add salt to taste. Mash the beans with the back of a spoon or a potato masher. Stir in the oil.
3 Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the greens and salt to taste. Cook until tender, depending on the variety of greens, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain well.
4 Dry the pot. Add the oil, garlic, and crushed red pepper. Cook over medium heat until the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add the drained greens and salt to taste. Toss well.
5 Spread the bean puree on a serving platter. Pile the greens on top. Drizzle with more oil if desired. Serve hot or warm.
