Instructions
Preparation

Cooking
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook for 10-15 minutes until they begin to soften but still have some bite.
- Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and season with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all flavors.
- Pour beef broth over the mixture, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender and have absorbed some of the flavors.
Finishing Touches

Notes
For added richness, consider browning the beef a bit more before removing it from the skillet; this creates a deeper flavor base. If you like a little heat, adding a pinch of red pepper flakes during the cooking process can elevate the dish. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to three months.
