Equipment
Method
- Cook the Potatoes:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender, about 10-12 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Ground Beef:
- In the same skillet, add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook over medium heat, breaking up the beef with a spatula, until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 7-8 minutes.
- Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Add Seasonings:
- Add the minced garlic, paprika, thyme (or Italian seasoning), salt, and pepper to the beef mixture. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
- Combine Beef and Potatoes:
- Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the ground beef.
- Pour in the beef broth or water and stir everything together.
- Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the potatoes to absorb some of the broth.
- Optional Vegetables:
- If you’re adding frozen peas or corn, stir them in during the last few minutes of cooking, allowing them to heat through.
Notes
Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the skillet from the heat.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
