Dice the russet potatoes into uniform pieces.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil, and toss in the diced potatoes.
Cook the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.
Push the potatoes to the side of the skillet and add the ground beef.
Break apart the ground beef with a spatula as it cooks, seasoning with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
Stir the ground beef into the potatoes for a harmonious blend of flavors.
Shred the cheese and sprinkle it over the top of the mixture.
Cover the skillet for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
