There’s something deeply satisfying about a one-skillet dinner that’s golden, savory, and loaded with comfort—and this Classic Hamburger Hash delivers all that and more. Tender potatoes, seasoned ground beef, and a blanket of melted sharp cheddar come together in a dish that’s perfect for busy weeknights, lazy Sundays, or breakfast-for-dinner cravings.
Inspired by diner classics but made entirely from scratch in your kitchen, this recipe is simple, flexible, and guaranteed to please the whole family.
Ingredients You’ll Need
(Serves 4–6)
- 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and chopped into ½-inch cubes
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)
- 1 medium white onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 2½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: chopped green onions or fresh parsley
💡 Pro Tips:
- Par-cook potatoes just until fork-tender (about 8–10 mins)—they’ll finish browning in the skillet.
- Don’t skip draining the beef—excess fat makes the hash greasy.
- Use freshly shredded cheese—pre-shredded contains anti-caking agents that don’t melt as smoothly.
