Cook the Potatoes<\/h3>\n<p>Start by heating the oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced potatoes in a single layer.<\/p>\n<p>Let them cook for about <strong>8\u201310 minutes<\/strong>, stirring occasionally. You want the potatoes to develop a golden-brown crust on the outside while becoming slightly tender on the inside. Avoid stirring too often at the beginning\u2014this helps them crisp up nicely.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Add the Vegetables<\/h3>\n<p>Once the potatoes are partially cooked, add the chopped onion and bell pepper directly into the skillet.<\/p>\n<p>Cook everything together for <strong>3\u20134 minutes<\/strong>, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and release their aroma. This step builds a flavorful base for the dish.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Brown the Ground Beef<\/h3>\n<p>Push the potato and vegetable mixture to one side of the pan to create space.<\/p>\n<p>Add the ground beef to the empty side. Let it cook undisturbed for a minute or two, then begin breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula. Continue cooking until the beef is fully browned and no longer pink.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Combine and Season<\/h3>\n<p>Mix the beef with the potatoes and vegetables until everything is evenly combined.<\/p>\n<p>Add the minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, thyme, and chili powder. Stir well to ensure the seasonings coat every bite. The aroma at this stage will be rich and savory.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Simmer for Flavor<\/h3>\n<p>If using, pour in the beef broth and add the ketchup. Stir to combine.<\/p>\n<p>Let the mixture simmer uncovered for <strong>8\u201310 minutes<\/strong>, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly. This step helps the flavors meld together while making the potatoes perfectly tender and the dish slightly saucy.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Final Taste &amp; Serve<\/h3>\n<p>Taste the hash and adjust the seasoning if needed\u2014add more salt, pepper, or spices to your preference.<\/p>\n<p>Serve hot, straight from the skillet.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0Serving Ideas<\/h2>\n<p>This dish is very versatile!
