instructions
    1

    Begin by washing the red potatoes thoroughly and cutting them into quarters. Set aside.

    2

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes.

    3

    Add the beef to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    4

    Mix in the quartered potatoes, diced tomato, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

    5

    Pour in enough water to cover the potatoes and beef, then bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot.

    6

    Let it cook for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. If the mixture looks too dry, you can add a bit more water.

    7

    Once cooked, stir in the chopped parsley for added flavor and freshness.

    8

    Serve hot and enjoy the comforting and hearty flavors!
