Method
 

How to Make Ground Beef and Potatoes
  1. Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook until they are golden and partially tender, about 8-10 minutes. Once they achieve a lovely color, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Next, add the ground beef into the same skillet. Cook it until it's nicely browned and fully cooked through, around 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic with the beef. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the onion is softened and translucent.
  5. Sprinkle in the paprika, salt, and black pepper, and stir to coat the beef and onions.
  6. Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet, mixing everything together.
  7. Pour in the beef broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  8. Finally, garnish your dish with chopped fresh parsley for a colorful finish, and serve hot.
