Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened.
  3. Toss in the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  4. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika to amp up the flavor.
  5. Stir in the diced potatoes and mix well.
  6. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low, cooking until the potatoes are tender — about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Once the potatoes are crispy and golden, remove from heat.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes

For even crispier potatoes, cut them a bit smaller. For added heat, include red pepper flakes or hot sauce. This dish can be made ahead and reheated. Keeps well in the fridge for 3 days or frozen for 2-3 months.
