Instructions
Peel and dice the onion. Mince the garlic and ginger. Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes.
In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until fully browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
