Fremgangsmåte

Prep the Potatoes (5 minutes):

Dice potatoes into small, even cubes (about ½-inch pieces) for quicker cooking.

Brown the Beef (8–10 minutes):

Heat a large 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease and transfer beef to a plate.

Cook the Potatoes (12–15 minutes):

In the same skillet, add olive oil. Add diced potatoes and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and lightly brown.

Add Aromatics (3–4 minutes):

Stir in diced onion and cook until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Season & Simmer (5–7 minutes):

Return cooked beef to the skillet. Add Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, pepper, and beef broth. Stir well.

Cover and cook for 5–7 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender.

Add Cheese (3–5 minutes):

Sprinkle shredded cheddar evenly over the top. Cover and cook until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Rest & Serve (5 minutes):

Remove from heat and let rest briefly before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Serving Suggestion:

Serve as-is for a complete meal, or pair with a side salad or steamed green beans for extra freshness.

Storage Tip:

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat or in the microwave until warmed through.
