Instructions

Prepare the potatoes: Wash and dice the Yukon Gold potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and tender, about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally.
Cook the aromatics and meat: In the same skillet (push potatoes aside or remove briefly), sauté diced onions and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent. Add ground beef or turkey and cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it up with a spatula.
Add sloppy joe sauce and peppers: Stir in the sloppy joe sauce or tomato base along with diced bell peppers. Let everything simmer for 5-7 minutes to blend flavors and soften the peppers.
Incorporate Boursin cheese: Fold the Boursin cheese chunks gently into the skillet mixture, allowing it to melt slowly off direct heat, creating a creamy sauce that coats the potatoes and meat evenly.
Final touches and garnish: Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Scatter chopped parsley or chives over the dish for a fresh, colorful finish before serving.

Notes

Choose Yukon Gold potatoes for the perfect balance of creaminess and firmness.
Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure potatoes crisp nicely; cook in batches if necessary.
Melt the Boursin cheese off direct heat to prevent breaking and achieve smooth creaminess.
Use fresh herbs like parsley or chives to add brightness to the creamy dish.
Adjust seasoning gradually and taste as you go for the best flavor balance.
