Dice potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes and microwave in a covered bowl with a splash of water for 5 minutes to par-cook.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add potatoes in a single layer and cook 8-10 minutes, turning only occasionally, until browned and crisp.
Push potatoes aside, add beef, diced onion and pepper, and cook 7-8 minutes until the beef is browned and reaches 160°F. Drain any extra fat.
Season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper and toss everything together.
Sprinkle with cheddar, cover 1-2 minutes to melt, and serve. A fried egg on top is a nice add (optional).
