How to make Meat and Potato Skillet
The dish begins by cooking the potatoes into the skillet. I like to use a combination of regular potatoes and sweet potatoes. Feel free to use only one type of potatoes if that is what you have on hand. Cook the potato cubes until tender and transfer to a medium bowl. It is best to use a non-stick skillet if possible.
Now it’s time for browning the ground pork and beef in the skillet, adding in diced onions and garlic for added flavor. To add complexity to the dish, add a mixture of seasonings such as smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder and thyme. At this point I like to add tomato paste which brings an amazing flavor to the whole dish. Stir it in and add the cooked potatoes back into the skillet. Top with grated cheese and broil for 3 -4 minutes or until cheese is melted. You can garnish the dish with fresh herbs and crispy bacon.
The sweetness of the sweet potatoes pairs perfectly with the savory beef and pork mixture, and the potatoes add a nice texture to the dish.
Serve this dish with fresh salad and crusty bread for a filling and satisfying meal. It’s a great way to incorporate some vegetables in your diet.
You can always adjust this recipe by adding your own favorite vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or even zucchini, and also you can switch up the meat and make it with turkey or chicken.

This Meat and Potato Skillet looks delicious! I love that it is budget-friendly and relatively easy to make. Do you have any other ideas for customizing the dish with different vegetables or meats?
You can use any other ground meat like turkey or chicken, and various vegetables like red peppers or mushrooms. Hope you will try it out.
I made it and will definitely make it again. I only had ground pork and didn’t have a sweet potato, so just added more red potatoes. The hubby is doing the Whole 30 diet and this recipe is compliant with his diet, minus the cheese. It was easy to put together and delicious.
So glad you enjoyed this recipe. We also make it pretty often for lunch and kids love it too.
Very delicious! I added a diced sweet pepper to the ingredients, since I had several on hand. Our family wants me to serve it again.
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m so glad your family enjoyed it! Adding a sweet pepper sounds like a delicious idea and a great way to use what you had on hand. Thanks for sharing, and I hope it becomes a regular favorite! ❤️
