Ingredients

- 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper

Steps
- 1
Peel and wash the potatoes, then cut them into cubes.
- 2
Put the cubed potatoes in a bowl. Toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika; the source gives no exact amounts for these seasonings.
- 3
Cook the potatoes in an air fryer at 400°F (about 200°C) for 20–25 minutes, shaking the basket at least a couple of times during cooking.
- 4
Set a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned.
- 5
Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
- 6
Season the beef with the measured salt and pepper, cayenne, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and dried cilantro. Add the minced garlic and stir well.
- 7
When both the potatoes and beef are cooked, combine them in the skillet.
- 8
Top the potato and beef mixture with shredded cheddar cheese.
- 9
Place the skillet in an oven at 400°F (about 200°C) and heat until the cheese melts. The source does not specify a baking time.
- 10
Warm the white queso, then pour it over the skillet.
- 11
Top with sour cream and fresh cilantro. Serve; the source also suggests wrapping the mixture in tortillas as burritos.
Notes
The transcript gives a conflicting potato quantity (three large russet potatoes), but the post description's five small/medium potatoes is retained. The transcript also mentions other possible proteins, but the written ingredient list and instructions specify ground beef. The quantity of olive oil and potato seasonings, cheddar, sour cream, and cilantro is not specified. No tortillas are included in the ingredient list because they are mentioned only as an optional way to serve the finished skillet.
