Description
A comforting, one-pan dish featuring caramelized onions, browned beef, and crispy potato cubes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper. Sauté 3–5 minutes until softened and starting to color.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Push the vegetables to the side, add the ground beef, and break it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 4–6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper while it cooks.
- Stir in the diced potatoes until everything is evenly mixed. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
- Cover the skillet and reduce heat slightly. Cook 15–20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
- Uncover for the last 3–5 minutes to let liquid evaporate and the potatoes develop a golden crust—stir occasionally.
- Finish with chopped parsley if using. Serve hot.
Notes
For a richer finish, swap olive oil for butter. Parboiling potatoes can speed up cooking time.
