Classic Beef and Potato Skillet

Ingredients

• Ground beef

  raw, 80/20

  8 oz or 227g

• Potato

  raw, with skin

  1 cup, diced or 150g

• Paprika

  1 tsp or 2g

• Garlic powder

  ½ tsp or 2g

• Onion powder

  ½ tsp or 1g

• Salt

  table

  1 dash or 0.4g

• Black pepper

  ground

  1 dash or 0.1g

• Olive oil

  1 tbsp or 14g

Directions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with the oil. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until well browned with rendered fat, 4–6 minutes. Drain excess fat if desired.
2. Add the diced potatoes (about 1/2-inch pieces) to the skillet and stir to coat in the beef and fat.
3. Season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper; stir to evenly distribute the spices.
4. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are fork-tender. If the pan looks dry, add 1–2 tablespoons water and re-cover to steam.
5. Taste and adjust salt and pepper, then serve hot.
