1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 medium potatoes, diced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
½ cup beef broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Prepare the ingredients: chop the onion, mince the garlic, and dice the potatoes into uniform, bite-sized pieces.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it browns completely. Ensure there are no pink spots for food safety and optimal flavor.
Stir in the diced potatoes, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly to combine the ingredients and distribute the seasonings evenly.
Pour the beef broth into the skillet. Cover and reduce the heat. Let the mixture simmer for approximately 20 minutes, or until the potatoes become tender when pierced with a fork.
Once the potatoes are cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the dish. Cover the skillet and let it sit for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt completely.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
