Ingredients

• 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and chopped

• 1 lb ground beef

• 1 medium white onion, chopped

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 2½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

• 2 teaspoons minced garlic

• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prep Potatoes & Cook Beef

Place the chopped potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 8–10 minutes, just until fork-tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside.

While the potatoes cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.

Step 2: Season & Crisp

Season the beef mixture with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Add the boiled potatoes and drizzle with olive oil. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes form a golden, crispy crust on the outside.

Step 3: Add Cheese

Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hash. Gently fold and stir until the cheese melts into the mixture, creating gooey, cheesy bites throughout.

Step 4: Serve

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired. Serve hot straight from the skillet for the best flavor and texture.

Pro Tips

✔ Cut potatoes into ½-inch uniform chunks so they cook evenly
✔ Let the potatoes sit undisturbed in the pan for a few minutes before stirring to get crispy edges
✔ For extra flavor, add a dash of smoked paprika or a splash of Worcestershire sauce
