Time: PT12M

While the beef cooks, place the cubed potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Time: PT10M
Roast Potatoes
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast in a pre‑heated oven at 400°F for 35 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp.

Combine Ingredients and Melt Cheese
