Equipment

Large Skillet with Deep Sides
Large Pot
Cullender to drain potatoes

INGREDIENTS

3 medium Russet Potatoes - peeled and chopped into ½-inch cubes
1 lb Ground Beef - 80/20
1 medium White Onion - finely chopped
1 Tbsp. EVOO
2 tsp. Garlic - minced
1 Tbsp. Italian Seasoning
2½ cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese - shredded
Salt and Black Pepper - to taste
Chopped Green Onions or Fresh Parsley - optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Place cubed Potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Cook the Potatoes until fork tender (about 8–10 mins) Browning will complete in the skillet. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, cook Ground Beef over medium-high heat until no longer pink.
Add Onion and Garlic; cook 3–4 minutes until Onion is soft and Garlic is fragrant.
Drain excess fat, then return to heat.
Stir in Salt, Pepper, and Italian Seasoning.
Add drained Potatoes and 1 Tbsp. oil.
Cook 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden and crisp on the edges.
Remove skillet from heat. Sprinkle sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the top and gently fold until Cheese has melted.
Garnish with chopped Green Onions or Parsley.
Serve Immediately.

Notes

Add ½ tsp. Red Pepper Flakes or diced Jalapeños for added zing.
Optionally, stir in Bell Peppers or sliced Mushrooms along with the Onions.

Low carb variation: Substitute diced Cauliflower or Zucchini for the Potatoes.

Try Pepper Jack, Gouda, or Mexican 3 Cheese blend for variety.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of oil to restore crispness. Do NOT microwave. That makes this soggy.
