American · Main course · 35 min total

A hearty, one-pan meal featuring crispy potatoes and savory beef, perfect for breakfast or a quick dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lb (450g) ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

1. Place diced potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons water. Cover and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes until partially tender. Drain well.
2. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes in a single layer and cook without stirring for 5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook another 5 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a plate.
3. In the same skillet, add ground beef and cook over medium-high heat, breaking it apart, until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove excess fat if desired.
4. Add onion and bell pepper to the skillet; cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper; cook 1 minute.
5. Return potatoes to the skillet, stir to combine, and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Garnish with parsley if using.

Tips

• Use leftover cooked potatoes for even quicker prep.
• Top with a fried egg for a complete breakfast.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
