Ground beef, potatoes, peppers, and cheddar melt into a hearty one-skillet dinner ready in half an hour.

# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 15 ml olive oil
02 - 15 g unsalted butter
03 - 900 g starchy white potatoes, peeled and sliced 0.5 cm thick
04 - 2 Romano peppers or bell peppers, deseeded and thinly sliced
05 - 500 g lean ground beef
06 - 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
07 - 2 garlic cloves, minced

→ Seasonings & Garnishes

08 - 5 g sweet paprika
09 - 5 g ground black pepper
10 - 5 g Italian seasoning
11 - 2.5 g salt
12 - 2.5 g chili flakes, plus extra for garnish
13 - 35 g double concentrated tomato paste
14 - 16 g fresh parsley, chopped, more for serving

→ Liquids & Dairy

15 - 480 ml chicken broth
16 - 150 g cheddar cheese, grated

# How to Prepare:

01 - Peel potatoes and slice lengthwise into 0.5 cm thick pieces. Finely chop onion and parsley. Mince garlic. Halve and deseed Romano peppers, then slice thinly.
02 - Heat olive oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced potatoes and cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on all sides. Remove potatoes from skillet and set aside.
03 - In the same skillet, add peppers and cook for 3 minutes until slightly softened. Add ground beef, breaking it apart, and cook for 2 minutes until just starting to brown.
04 - Add minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Incorporate salt, chili flakes, black pepper, sweet paprika, and Italian seasoning. Stir in tomato paste until evenly distributed.
05 - Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Add chopped parsley, mixing gently to combine all ingredients without breaking the potatoes.
06 - Pour chicken broth into the skillet and cover with a lid. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Remove the lid and continue to cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.
07 - Sprinkle grated cheddar evenly across the surface. Cover the skillet and allow cheese to melt completely. Garnish with extra parsley and chili flakes. Serve hot, accompanied by a crisp side salad if desired.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Selecting a starchy potato variety ensures the slices absorb flavors and hold their shape during cooking.
02 - For deeper color, allow potatoes to brown undisturbed before stirring.
