Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and dice them into small, bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and develop a golden crust.
Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add the ground beef to the empty side of the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Cook the ground beef until browned, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine with the potatoes.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and mix everything together. Cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
Season the mixture with paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure even seasoning.
If using, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet and allow the cheese to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your Ground Beef and Potatoes Oh So Simple with your favorite condiments or a side salad!
