Ingredients
  

For the Beef and Potatoes
  • 1 pound Ground Beef an 80/20 blend is ideal for moisture
  • 3 medium Russet Potatoes peeled and diced; substitute with Yukon Gold for extra creaminess
  • 1 small Onion finely chopped; yellow or white onions work well
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced; fresh is always best for flavor
For the Seasoning and Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil can substitute with vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika consider using smoked paprika for more depth
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano Italian seasoning blend can work as a substitute
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper adjust according to your preference
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste provides richness and acidity for balance
  • 1/2 cup Beef Broth or Water broth is more flavorful than water
For the Finishing Touch
  • Chopped Fresh Parsley for garnish; adds fresh flavor and visual appeal

Equipment

  • Large skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing, peeling, and dicing three medium russet potatoes into uniform pieces. Rinse the diced potatoes to remove excess starch, then pat them dry.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and sauté for about 8-10 minutes until tender and golden. Remove from skillet.
  3. In the same skillet, add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat, keeping about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
  4. Add finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Then, add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  5. Stir in paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper, cooking until fragrant. Then, add tomato paste and mix well.
  6. Pour in beef broth or water, return the cooked potatoes to the skillet, cover, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes until fully tender.
  7. Taste the dish and adjust seasoning if necessary. Let rest for 2-3 minutes and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
