Classic Hamburger Hash!!!

Step 4: Cook the Potatoes

1. Add the diced potatoes to the skillet with the vegetables.
2. Season generously with salt, pepper, and paprika.
3. Stir occasionally and cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.

Tip: For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the skillet and allow the potatoes to brown a little before stirring.

Step 5: Combine Beef and Vegetables

1. Return the browned ground beef to the skillet with the potatoes and vegetables.
2. Stir everything together until well combined.
3. Add Worcestershire sauce if using, and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
4. Cook together for an additional 3-5 minutes, letting the flavors meld.

Step 6: Serve Hot

1. Transfer the hamburger hash to plates or a serving dish.
2. Garnish with chopped parsley for freshness.
3. Optional: top each serving with shredded cheese or a fried egg for a hearty breakfast twist.

Tips for the Perfect Hamburger Hash

• Consistency: Small, evenly diced potatoes cook faster and allow for better browning.
• Flavor layering: Browning the beef first and cooking vegetables in the same skillet gives a depth of flavor.
• Versatility: Swap bell peppers for mushrooms or add leftover veggies to reduce waste.
• Crispy edges: Resist stirring too often—let the potatoes crisp naturally.
