This Mediterranean Ground Beef Potato Bowl is what happens when nachos grow up and move to the Mediterranean. Instead of chips, we roast crispy Yukon potatoes. Instead of taco seasoning, we use oregano, garlic, and paprika. Then we pile on juicy ground beef, feta, olives, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of garlic yogurt sauce.

Ingredient Note

Yukon gold potatoes: Creamy inside, crisp outside. They hold their shape better than russets for roasting.

Lean ground beef: Lean works best so the bowl doesn’t get greasy.

Garlic + oregano + paprika: Classic Mediterranean base that keeps the beef savory and warm.

Tomato paste: Adds depth and richness without needing a long simmer.

Cherry tomatoes: Fresh contrast that keeps the bowl from feeling heavy.

Kalamata olives: Salty, briny pop that makes everything taste brighter.

Feta: Creamy, tangy finish that ties it all together.

Parsley: Freshness is not optional here.

FAQ

Why are my potatoes not crispy?

If they’re crowded, they steam instead of roast. Spread them out and don’t flip too early.

Can I use russet potatoes?

You can, but they’re starchier and may break apart more easily.

What other sauce can I use?

A whipped feta sauce would also pair nicely.
