Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 cup water or beef broth
• 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, about 1/2 inch in size. Set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, green bell pepper, and garlic.

Step 3

In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and develop a golden color.

Step 5

Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the ground beef to the other side. Break the beef into small pieces with a spoon or spatula as it cooks.

Step 6

Once the ground beef is browned, mix it together with the potatoes in the pan.

Step 7

Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Stir and cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 8

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Pour in the water or beef broth, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. This will allow the potatoes to become tender and absorb the flavors.

Step 10

Remove the lid and check the potatoes for softness. If needed, cook for a few more minutes uncovered until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the potatoes are fully cooked.

Step 11

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
