Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cups diced potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes)
  • 1 pound ground beef (lean)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium bell pepper, chopped (any color)
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite melting cheese)

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, cook the ground beef for 5-7 minutes, breaking into small pieces, until browned. Drain excess grease.
  • Add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes until softened.
  • Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Add frozen mixed vegetables, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Cook for another 5-7 minutes to soften the vegetables and crisp the bottom of the hash.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and top with shredded cheese. Cover briefly if needed for cheese to melt before serving.

Notes

Use sweet potatoes for a sweeter twist. Add cooked eggs for a protein boost. For a lighter version, use low-fat cheese or skip it.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
