Delicious for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this potato and beef hash is always a hit. And with a grand total of three ingredients (YEP, THREE) it truly couldn’t get any easier. Unless, of course, it cooked itself.

I started making beef and potato hash at the beginning of the pandemic because I was so freakin’ tired of making 3 meals a day for 6 straight weeks. Little did I know at the time that we’d be 2+ years into this mess and I’m still making 3 (sometimes more) meals a day. That’s why I make sure a meal like this — one that’s super easy to make AND super flavorful — gets into the rotation OFTEN.

My absolute favorite thing about this meal is that it requires a grand total of 3 ingredients. You can fancy it up with another ingredient or two, but it is completely unnecessary. All you need is ground beef, white potatoes (or any other potato you can tolerate), and salt. If you want to get fancy, add a clove of garlic or half a cup of leeks.

My second favorite thing about this meal is that it takes 15 minutes from start to finish to cook. Just make sure to cut your potatoes into smaller chunks or it will take yours a but longer.

Finally, I love that this meal is delicious enough for grown-up taste buds to enjoy while also being simple enough for the kidlets. And since mine are the pickiest eaters on the planet, I always feel extra accomplished when they a.) don’t tell me something I make is disgusting and b.) finish everything on their plates.

So the next time you need to make a quick, easy, and delicious meal (which, isn’t that ALL THE TIME?), make it this one. You don’t even need to print out a recipe because it’s as easy as 1 (pound of ground beef), 2 (good sized potatoes), and 3 (pinches of salt).
