Technique to learn

Skillet Layer Broiling

Technique of assembling cooked savory fillings and toppings directly in an oven-safe pan for immediate high-temperature crusting under the broiler.

Instructions

Step 1: Place cubed potatoes in a pot of salted cold water, bring to a boil, and cook for 15 minutes until fork-tender.
Drain potatoes thoroughly and mash with butter and half a teaspoon of salt until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Preheat oven broiler on high and set oven rack six inches below the heating element.

Step 4: Heat olive oil in a ten-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat, then sauté onion, red bell pepper, and garlic for 5 minutes until soft.

Step 5: Add ground beef, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper, cooking for 7 minutes while breaking up meat until browned.

Step 6: Stir in green olives, spread meat evenly in the skillet, top with mashed potatoes, and broil for 5 minutes until the potato top is golden brown.

Cooking tips

Use a fork to cross-hatch the potato surface before broiling to create extra crispy ridges.
Ensure the skillet is fully oven-safe including the handle before placing under the broiler.
