Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 4 medium potatoes, diced
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bell pepper, chopped
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Directions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook until golden and crispy, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
2. Cook the Ground Beef: In the same skillet, add the ground beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon until browned.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the vegetables are softened, around 5 minutes.
4. Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Stir in the beef broth, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure even coating.
5. Simmer for Flavor: Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
6. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
