Equipment

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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.
