Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 medium russet potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 1 large bell pepper
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, about half an inch in size for even cooking. Dice the onion and bell pepper into similar-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the diced potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn golden brown.
Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the empty side, followed by the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir well with the onion and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, ensuring that it is well combined with the vegetables.
Once the beef is cooked through, sprinkle the ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Stir to ensure the spices are evenly distributed and everything is well mixed.
Lower the heat and cover the skillet, allowing the mixture to cook for another 3-5 minutes until the potatoes are tender throughout.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit covered for a couple of minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your savory ground beef and potatoes skillet, perfect on its own or paired with a fresh green salad.
