To create a delicious and filling dish, we start by preparing the potatoes. Choose medium-sized potatoes, preferably with thin skin, which provides a more pleasant texture. Boil them in salted water for about 20 minutes until they become soft but not overcooked, so they maintain their shape. Once boiled, drain them well, let them cool slightly, then carefully peel and cut them into cubes. These potatoes will add a delicious taste and texture to the final dish.
In a large skillet, add two tablespoons of oil and heat it well. Add the diced bacon and fry until they become crispy and golden. The aroma that will spread in the kitchen will be irresistible. Once the bacon is ready, add the boiled potato cubes. Leave them on medium heat, stirring carefully so as not to crush them, until they become golden and evenly fried. After they have taken on a nice hue, add half of the finely chopped onion. Continue cooking, stirring, until the onion becomes translucent, providing a sweet and appetizing aroma. Season this mixture with cumin, paprika, pepper, and salt to taste, leaving it on the heat for about another minute to allow the flavors to blend harmoniously.
In another pot, add three tablespoons of oil and sauté the ground meat. Cook until all the juices evaporate, making sure to stir constantly to prevent sticking. Once the meat is well browned, add the remaining onion and continue to sauté for two minutes, stirring continuously. Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste, to enhance the flavor of the meat.
Pour the ground meat over the fried potato mixture and heat everything for a minute, stirring gently to homogenize the composition. This will create a savory dish, where the flavors blend perfectly. For an extra touch of freshness and texture, add finely chopped green onion, and optionally, a few sliced cucumbers lengthwise. These will bring a crunchy note and a pleasant contrast with the other ingredients. Serve the dish warm; it can be a special main course, perfect for a gathering with family or friends.
