Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 cup Beef broth
• 1 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch). Rinse them under cold water and set aside.

Step 2

Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onions and cook until softened and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasonings.

Step 7

Cook the potatoes for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing them to start browning slightly.

Step 8

Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet with the potatoes and onions. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and beef broth. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let everything simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 9

Once the potatoes are tender, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet and let the cheese melt, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your hearty and delicious 'Meat and Taters'!
