02 -
1 yellow onion, diced finely
03 -
1 tbsp unsalted butter
04 -
1 tbsp olive oil
05 -
2 garlic cloves, chopped small

½ tsp red chili flakes
07 -
2 Romano peppers, sliced thin (or bell peppers)
08 -
½ tsp salt
09 -
1 tsp paprika, sweet
10 -
1 tsp black pepper
11 -
1 tsp Italian dried herbs
12 -
2 tbsp tomato paste (double concentrated)
13 -
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, plus extra to garnish
14 -
2 cups chicken broth
15 -
1.8 pounds potatoes, white and starchy
16 -
1 ½ cups cheddar cheese, grated
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by prepping the ingredients: peel the potatoes, chop them lengthwise into thin slices about ¼ inch/0.5 cm thick. Dice the onion finely, cut and deseed the peppers, and mince the garlic. Chop some parsley for garnish.
02 -
Take a large nonstick pan, heat the butter with olive oil over medium-high, and cook the potato slices until golden and crispy, about 6 minutes. Set them aside.
03 -
Toss the peppers into that same skillet and let them soften for around 3 minutes. Add the ground beef, break it into chunks, and cook for a couple of minutes until slightly brown.
04 -
Throw the minced garlic and chopped onion into the pan. Cook until they smell amazing, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper, paprika, and Italian herbs over the mixture. Stir in the tomato paste.
05 -
Gently fold the potatoes back in with the parsley. Pour in chicken broth, cover the pan with a lid, and cook for 10 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Remove the lid to let the broth reduce and thicken.
06 -
Top everything with grated cheddar, then close the lid briefly until the cheese melts completely.
07 -
Once ready, garnish with a sprinkle of parsley and a few chili flakes. Serve hot with a side salad and dig in!
