Total: 40 min
Active: 25 min
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 medium russet potatoes
  2. 3 tablespoons olive oil
  3. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  4. 1 small onion, chopped
  5. 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  6. 1 clove garlic, minced
  7. 8 ounces ground beef (90% lean)
  8. 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  9. 1 1/2 cups grated sharp Cheddar

Instructions

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut into small cubes (a little less than 1/2 inch). Put in a bowl and cover with cold water, mixing to rinse off the starch. Drain and rinse in a colander, then transfer to paper towels and pat dry.
  2. Heat the oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden brown on most sides, about 15 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste, then transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
  3. Preheat the broiler on high.
  4. Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Add the beef, chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 5 minutes. Return the potatoes to the skillet and mix to combine. Sprinkle the cheese over the hash.
  5. Broil until melted and bubbling, about 1 minute.

Michele Adkins
Good recipe. I added salsa and rolled the mixture up in flour tortillas. Also needed a little more salt. Overall delicious and I would make again for the family.

It was a hot! Very picky husband had 3 helpings my son warmed up to it and liked it. I know you shouldn’t add to a recipe until you try it for the first time but I did add mushrooms to it, it added a nice flavor to it.

Needs cream cheese or beef stock or both… otherwise its really DRY
Anthony Peterson
Added a can of Rotel for more moisture. It was good wrapped in a tortilla like a breakfast burrito

I have some very picky eaters. I read the reviews and saw it needed more. Here is what I added or modified- fried the potatoes very crisp, added beef first then added peppers and onion, upped the salt snd pepper and added a shake of red pepper flakes and a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the meat while cooking. I saw someone said it was dry so I added in about 1/4 cup tomato sauce snd the about 3 tablespoons of tomato paste. Instead of mixing in the potatoes (because I wanted them to be more crispy), I just added them on top, then added the sharpe cheese. Broiled and it disappeared!!

Cheater version…you won’t mind Trisha…eek…sub potatoes, red pepper, & onion with 1/2 bag frozen potatoes O’Brien. Season with Morton’s & S&P.

A little dry, so I used beef gravy to top & added mushrooms.

If she wanted cheater version she would’ve done it…I see this as inspiration for a working Mom who wants a “home cooked” meal.

This was great and even delish the next morning for breakfast with a little hot sauce on top.
