Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef (85/15 or 90/10 recommended)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 4 medium potatoes, cooked and diced (about 4 cups diced, Russet or Yukon Gold)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced)
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup beef broth or water optional, for moisture
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Cooking Steps
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon; drain excess grease.
- Add chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften.
- Stir in diced cooked potatoes, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well to combine.
- Add beef broth or water if the mixture seems dry. Spread the hash evenly and cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes to crisp the bottom. Stir and cook for another 5-7 minutes until heated through and golden.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
For best results, use Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes for a crispy texture. Adjust seasoning to your preference.
