Peel the potatoes and slice them into ¼-inch slices. Finely chop the onion and parsley, mince the garlic, and thinly slice the peppers after deseeding them.
Cook the Potatoes:
Heat olive oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potato slices and cook for 6 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown. Remove the potatoes and set aside.
Cook the Peppers and Beef:
Using the same skillet, sauté the sliced peppers for about 3 minutes until softened. Add the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces, and cook until lightly browned (about 2 minutes).
Build Flavor:
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Season with salt, chili flakes, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Mix in the tomato paste until well combined.
Combine and Simmer:
Return the potatoes to the skillet, along with the chopped parsley. Gently stir everything together. Pour in the chicken broth, cover the skillet with a lid, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Remove the lid and let the broth reduce completely.
Add Cheese:
Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the skillet. Cover with the lid again and allow the cheese to melt completely.
Garnish and Serve:
Finish with additional parsley and chili flakes for a pop of color and flavor. Serve hot alongside a fresh side salad. Enjoy!
