- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: wash and dice the potatoes into uniform ½‑inch cubes, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté 3‑4 minutes until translucent, then add the garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook 5‑7 minutes until browned, seasoning with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Stir in the diced potatoes and pour in the beef broth, mixing to combine.

- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot directly from the skillet.
