Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 medium russet potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook and crumble the beef with a spatula until it is completely browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the cubed potatoes and mix them well with the beef.
Sprinkle salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme over the beef and potatoes. Stir to combine.
Pour in the beef broth, ensuring even distribution throughout the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Once the potatoes are cooked through, remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high to allow any excess liquid to evaporate, stirring occasionally.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a standalone dish or pair with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
