Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1.5 lb potatoes (Yukon Gold or russet), diced small
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- to taste Salt and black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped For garnish
- 2 eggs optional, for serving Fried eggs for topping
Instructions
Preparation
- Rinse, peel if you prefer, and dice potatoes into ½-inch cubes.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a simmer and cook potatoes for 5 minutes. Drain and let steam-dry for a minute.
Cooking
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Season lightly with salt and pepper and cook until just browned, about 5–7 minutes. Transfer the beef to a bowl and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining oil, then the onion and bell pepper. Cook 4–5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add potatoes to the skillet, spread in an even layer, and let them sit without stirring for 3–4 minutes to develop a golden crust. Toss and let sit again for another 3 minutes.
- Return the beef to the skillet. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, cumin, and more salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine and cook 3–4 more minutes.
- Turn off heat and stir in fresh parsley. If you like, make two wells, crack eggs into them, and cover the skillet until eggs set to your liking. Serve hot.
Notes
Cut potatoes evenly for even cooking, dry them before adding to the skillet, and let sit to develop a crust. Use a heavy skillet for best results.
