Step 1

Preheat broiler to high.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Place cubed potatoes in a bowl of cold water, swishing them around to remove starch. Drain in a colander and rinse. Spread potatoes out paper towels and pat dry.

Step 3

Add oil to a cast iron skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring as needed, until the potatoes are fork tender and browned on most sides.

Step 4

Sprinkle potatoes with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 5

Stir in the onions, red bell pepper and garlic to the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring until golden brown.

Step 6

Stir in the beef, chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and cook, breaking up any clump, until brown, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 7

Add the potatoes back to the skillet and mix in. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top of the skillet.

Step 8

Place skillet under preheated broiler until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
