Instructions

Dice potatoes, chop onion, and mince garlic.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add ground meat and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
Stir in diced potatoes and chopped onion. Cook for 8–10 minutes until potatoes start to soften.
Pour in cream or half-and-half. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until sauce thickens and potatoes are tender.
Sprinkle cheese on top and let melt.
Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For crispier potatoes, brown them well before adding cream.
Use any cheese you like—cheddar adds sharpness, mozzarella gives a gooey texture.
Add more cream if sauce thickens too much on standing.
