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.
