Here’s a simple, hearty, and flavorful recipe for Ground Beef and Potato Hash, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner:
🥘 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced small
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or chives)
🧑🍳 Instructions
- Prep Potatoes:
- Dice potatoes into small cubes. Optionally, parboil for 5 minutes for faster cooking.
- Cook Potatoes:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add potatoes and cook until golden and tender, about 10–12 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Cook Ground Beef:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining oil.
- Sauté onions, bell pepper, and garlic until soft.
- Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
- Combine & Season:
- Return potatoes to the skillet with beef.
- Add paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Cook for another 3–5 minutes to let flavors meld.
- Serve:
- Garnish with fresh herbs.
- Optional: top with a fried egg for a complete breakfast hash.
💡 Tips
- For extra crispiness, cook potatoes separately in a little more oil before combining.
- You can add cheese, hot sauce, or leftover vegetables for more flavor and texture.
- This dish stores well and can be reheated for quick meals during the week.
If you want, I can also make a low-carb version using sweet potatoes or cauliflower that’s lighter but just as flavorful.
