Instructions

Prep the Vegetables: Wash and dice the potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes. Finely dice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic
Sear the Potatoes: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potato cubes in a single layer, cooking undisturbed for 4-5 minutes. Stir occasionally until about 80% tender, then remove from the pa
Brown the Beef: In the same skillet, add the ground beef, cooking until no longer pink. Drain excess grease, leaving one tablespoo
Aromatics and Peppers: Add diced onions and bell peppers, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent. Stir in minced garlic for another 60 seconds
Combine and Season: Return potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring to coat
Simmer to Perfection: Pour in beef broth, cover, and simmer on medium-low for 5-7 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender
The Cheesy Finish: Remove lid, sprinkle cheese over the top if using, cover for one more minute until melted. Garnish with parsley or green onions before serving

Notes

Always pat diced potatoes dry before cooking to avoid mushiness.

Use a large enough skillet to prevent steaming.

Let the skillet rest for a few minutes after cooking for best flavors.
