Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Beef broth
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and cut each into 8 even wedges.
Place the potato wedges on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, ensuring each wedge is evenly coated.
Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet, skin-side down, and bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
While the wedges are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the onion is softened and fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and beef broth. Mix well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, until thickened.
Remove the potato wedges from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter or keep them on the baking sheet.
Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture over the potato wedges, ensuring they are thoroughly topped.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top and return the dish to the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
