Kitchen Equipment Needed
- Large skillet or frying pan
- Spatula or wooden spoon
- Cutting board
- Knife
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 pound (450g) ground beef
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup beef broth or water (optional)
- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel and dice the potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
- Cook the Ground Beef:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Sauté the Onions and Garlic:
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the Potatoes:
- Stir in the diced potatoes, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the potatoes evenly with the spices.
- Cook the Potatoes:
- Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and cooked through. If the mixture becomes too dry, you can add a splash of beef broth or water to keep it moist.
- Serve:
- Once the potatoes are tender, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired. Serve hot as a main dish or as a hearty side.
