Step 4: Add the Potatoes

Push the beef and veggies to one side of the skillet.
Add a little oil or butter to the empty side and toss in the diced potatoes.
Spread them out so they can brown nicely.
Let them cook undisturbed for a few minutes before stirring—this helps develop a good crispy texture.

Step 5: Season Everything

Sprinkle in the paprika, salt, pepper, and optional thyme.
Mix everything together so the flavors blend evenly.

Step 6: Cover and Cook

Place a lid on the skillet and let the mixture cook for about 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
The lid helps the potatoes soften while the bottom still gets golden and crispy.

Step 7: Crisp Up the Hash

Remove the lid and increase the heat slightly.
Let the hash cook uncovered for a few more minutes so the potatoes and beef get beautifully browned.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

Once everything is tender, golden, and well-seasoned, remove the skillet from heat.
Garnish with fresh parsley if you like, and serve hot.
