- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Optional: fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or chives)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Dice the potatoes, chop the green pepper and onion, and mince the garlic. Set aside.
- Cook the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and tender, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the chopped onion, green pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Cook the Pork: Add the ground pork to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add Cheese: Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the grated cheese over the pork and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Once the cheese is melted, give everything a gentle stir. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve hot.
