# Steps to Cook:

03 - In the same skillet, sauté chopped peppers until soft, approximately 3 minutes. Add ground beef and cook until browned.
04 - Stir in minced garlic and chopped onion; cook until fragrant. Incorporate sweet paprika, black pepper, Italian seasoning, salt, chili flakes, and tomato paste, mixing thoroughly.
05 - Return the browned potatoes to the skillet along with chopped parsley. Pour in chicken broth and cover. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Use starchy potatoes for best texture and flavor. Adjust chili flakes to preferred spice level.
