Ingredients You’ll Need
(Serves 4–6)
3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and chopped into ½-inch cubes
1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)
1 medium white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced (recipe says 2 tsp—likely a typo; 2 cloves = ~2 tsp minced)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
2½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
Optional: Hot sauce, Worcestershire, or fresh parsley
💡 Pro Tip: Parboil potatoes in salted water for 8–10 minutes—just until fork-tender but not mushy.
