Homemade Picadillo

1/4 Cup Oil
2 Medium Potatoes, peeled and diced small
1 1/2 lbs Ground Beef
1 Green Bell Pepper, finely diced
1/2 Medium Onion, finely diced
2 tsp Garlic, minced
1-2 Tomatoes, diced

A handful of green olives, sliced
2 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Granulated Onion
2 tsp Caldo de Tomate
1 tsp Caldo de Pollo
1/4 Cup Water

Cook the ground beef over medium heat until the beef is about 1/2 cooked and only some pink remains, then add green bell pepper, onion and garlic and cook for mixture for 2 more minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and cook over low heat until the beef is well browned and crumbly and the tomatoes and onions are softened and begin to combine with the other ingredients.

In a separate pan, Cook the potatoes in the oil over medium heat in a large pan. When the potatoes have softened and are browned, fold into the beef mixture. (If you only want to use only one pan, this step can be done ahead of time and the potatoes can be removed and set aside until the meat mixture is done.)
