Ground Beef and Potato Bowl (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 lb ground beef
02 - 2 medium potatoes
03 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
04 - 1 small onion
05 - 2 cloves garlic
06 - 1 teaspoon cumin
07 - 1 teaspoon paprika
08 - 1⁄2 teaspoon chili powder
09 - 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
10 - 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
11 - 1⁄4 cup beef broth
12 - 1⁄4 cup salsa
13 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
14 - 1⁄2 cup sour cream
15 - 1⁄4 cup chopped cilantro
16 - 1 lime

# Instructions:

01 - Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
02 - Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.
03 - Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender.
04 - While the potatoes are cooking, peel and finely chop the onion. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
05 - Once the potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a plate and set aside.
06 - In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
07 - Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook the onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
08 - Stir in the cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook the mixture for another minute to allow the spices to become fragrant.
09 - Pour in the beef broth and salsa, stirring to combine everything well. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly.
10 - Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and stir everything together to coat the potatoes in the sauce. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is heated through.
11 - Spoon the beef and potato mixture into bowls. Top each bowl with shredded cheddar cheese, a squeeze of lime juice, a dollop of sour cream, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

# Notes:

01 - For crispier potatoes, you can fry them in batches or use a higher heat.
02 - If you prefer a spicier dish, add jalapenos or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
03 - Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
04 - Use flour tortillas or corn chips on the side for added texture.
05 - For a dairy-free version, swap sour cream with avocado or a dairy-free yogurt alternative.
