Put beans in water overnight. Make sure to put enough water as they will absorb and expand.
2

Boil the beans in water enough to cover 2 inches above their level, and remove from heat when soft.
3

Drain water from beans and save 1-2 cups for later
4

Use wooden spatula to mash beans while still hot.

6

Add oil, onions, and garlic to a new pan over medium heat, and cook until translucent
7

Add 3 tsp paprika, salt and pepper, and stir well
