  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
  • lbs (680g) ground beef (85/15)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 cups peeled & diced russet or Yukon Gold potatoes (½” cubes)
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • Optional: ½ tsp red pepper flakes, chopped fresh parsley
For serving:
  • Fried or poached eggs (for breakfast hash)
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Hot sauce or ketchup

Instructions

  1. Brown beef: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high. Add ground beef; cook 5–6 min until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Sauté veggies: Add onion and bell pepper; cook 4–5 min until softened. Stir in garlic; cook 30 sec.
  3. Add potatoes: Stir in diced potatoes, diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato paste, Worcestershire, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Simmer: Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and mixture is thickened.
    For crispier hash, uncover during last 5–10 minutes and let edges brown slightly.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
  6. Serve hot, topped with fried eggs and cheese for breakfast—or enjoy as-is for dinner!
💡 Pro Tip: Par-cook potatoes in the microwave (3–4 min) to speed up stovetop time!
