Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 stalks green onions

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the russet potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and dice the green bell pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crisp. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the ground beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

Step 6

Season the beef and vegetable mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Return the crispy potatoes to the skillet, mixing them with the beef and vegetables. Add the ketchup and stir gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 8

Turn the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the hash. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle freshly sliced green onions over the top for a burst of flavor and color.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy this kid-approved meal!
