How to Make Classic Hamburger Hash Step by Step
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden and slightly crispy.
- Remove potatoes from the skillet and set aside. In the same pan, add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
- Add chopped onion and garlic to the beef, cooking until softened and fragrant. This builds a rich flavor base for the dish.
- Return the potatoes to the skillet and mix well with the beef mixture. Pour in beef broth and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and parsley.
- Cover and cook for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and potatoes to become tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top, cover again, and let it melt before serving your Classic Hamburger Hash hot and fresh.
