Instructions

Lightly grease the bottom of a 6-quart crockpot with olive oil or nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Layer half of the seasoned potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot, then add half the steak cubes, followed by half the diced onion and minced garlic.
Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, steak, onion, and garlic.
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3.5–4 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the steak is cooked through.
In the last 10–15 minutes of cooking, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top and cover to melt.
Once done, top with crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and a dollop of sour cream.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Use Yukon gold or russet potatoes for a different texture.

Greek yogurt can be used instead of sour cream for a lighter version.

Add jalapeños or cayenne pepper for a spicy twist.

Do not use frozen steak or potatoes to avoid excess moisture.

Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days but are not ideal for freezing.
