- 8 oz. can tomato sauce
- 2 tsp. chili powder
- 1/4 tsp. cumin
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil

Preparation:
In a large saucepan, cook ground beef with onions and garlic, stirring frequently, until browned; pour off drippings. Add tomato sauce and chili powder; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes or until most of liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.Meanwhile, heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling. Add potatoes, pressing into one layer. Cook 5 minutes or until bottom is golden brown. Turn with large spatula; continue cooking 4 to 5 minutes or until bottom of potatoes are golden brown, reducing heat if potatoes are browning too quickly. Don't worry if potatoes break apart when you turn them; just pat them back together with the spatula.
