Pan-Fried Potatoes with Meat

Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces, season with salt, pepper, and your choice of spices (such as paprika and garlic powder), and let it marinate.

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet, add the meat, and sear until golden brown, stirring occasionally (about 10-15 minutes). If the meat is tough, add a splash of water, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until tender, then remove from the skillet.

Heat the remaining oil until it begins to shimmer. Cut the potatoes into wedges, add them to the skillet, and pan-fry covered over medium heat for 7-8 minutes.

Remove the lid, season with salt and pepper, and gently lift the potatoes from the bottom up without aggressively stirring. After 5-7 minutes, flip them again and cook until a golden-brown crust forms.
