Description
A quick and delicious skillet meal made with ground beef and crispy potatoes, perfect for busy weeknights and satisfying for the whole family.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add chopped onion and diced bell pepper, sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Stir in diced potatoes, coating with beef juices, and season again with salt and pepper.
- Cover skillet and reduce heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, removing lid in the last 5 minutes to crisp potatoes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, raising heat briefly for extra browning if desired.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if using.
Notes
For extra-crispy edges, finish uncovered on medium-high heat. Leftover hash makes a great breakfast when crisped up in a skillet.
