  • 3 cups frozen diced potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add ground beef and cook until browned, draining excess fat.
  2. Stir in chopped onion and diced bell pepper and cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Add frozen diced potatoes, garlic powder, dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.
  4. Pour in beef broth, bring to a simmer, then cover and cook on medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  5. Remove the lid, increase heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until a crispy crust forms and potatoes are golden brown.
  6. Adjust seasoning as needed and garnish with fresh chopped chives before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce with the beef broth. This dish is versatile and can be customized with other vegetables like corn or peas.
