Step 1
Dice the 1 lb potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown and soften, about 8 minutes.
Step 2
Add the 1 lb ground beef to the skillet with the potatoes. Break it up with a spoon and cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.
Step 3
Stir in the 0.5 cup basil leaves and cook for 1 minute until wilted. Serve hot, with extra basil on top if you like.
