Wash the potato greens very well, and remove the leaves from the stems. Chop the leaves into small pieces and set aside.
Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large pot. Add the onions and meat, and cook until almost done. Remove from the pot and set aside.
Add the potato greens, and fry for about 15 minutes or until tender. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Add enough water to cover the greens, and season to taste with salt, onion powder, bouillon cubes, and ground pepper.
Cook over medium heat until all the water is gone, stirring frequently.
