Before starting, prep your ingredients. Peel and halve the potatoes lengthwise, then slice them into thin, quarter-inch pieces. Chop the parsley and onion finely, and mince the garlic. Cut the Romano peppers in half, remove the seeds, and slice them thin.

Melt butter and warm the oil together in a big skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the potato slices for roughly 6 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they turn golden. Take them out and set aside.

Using the same skillet, throw in the peppers and cook for about 3 minutes until they start to soften. Add the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces, and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.

Toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Stir occasionally and cook for 2 minutes or until you can smell the garlic. Sprinkle in salt, chili flakes, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Stir in the tomato paste to combine.

Carefully add the parsley and cooked potatoes to the skillet. Stir gently until everything is coated. Pour in the chicken broth, cover, and cook on low heat for 10 minutes, letting the potatoes become tender. Remove the lid and simmer until the liquid reduces.

Sprinkle the grated cheddar over everything. Put the lid back on and let the cheese fully melt before serving.

Sprinkle with more parsley and some chili flakes, if you like. Serve while it's hot with a fresh side salad!
