Preparation
- Dice the Yukon gold potatoes into uniform ½-inch cubes. Pat the lean ground beef lightly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture for better browning.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, season moderately with salt and pepper, and break it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and slightly crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
- Push the meat to one side. Add the diced onion to the clearing and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 60 seconds until fragrant. If dry, add a tiny pat of butter.
- Stir everything together. Add smoked paprika, oregano, and cumin. Cook for 1 minute to let spices bloom.
- Add cubed potatoes and stir to coat. Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover tightly, and simmer for 12-15 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender. Stir halfway through.
- Remove lid, increase heat to medium-high, and cook 3-5 minutes to evaporate liquid and crisp up, stirring occasionally.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over top, cover, and let melt for 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes
This one-skillet recipe reduces cleanup while allowing flavors to meld. Use lean ground beef to keep it nourishing without excess grease. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze without cheese for up to 3 months. Reheat in a skillet for best results to regain crispiness. Pairs well with a simple green salad or sautéed green beans.
