Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
3 medium potatoes, diced
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Dice the potatoes into small ½-inch cubes. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 6-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add olive oil and the diced potatoes. Cook uncovered for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender.
4. Push the potatoes to one side. Add the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
5. Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Add smoked paprika and adjust seasoning. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
6. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Dice the potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate and get that crispy finish.
You can swap ground beef with ground turkey or chicken if preferred.
Don’t skip the fresh parsley—it brings brightness and color to the dish!
