Preparation

Step 1
Scrub potatoes, but do not peel. Slice them thinly in food processor. Heat a nonstick pan large enough to hold all the ingredients, over very high heat.
Step 2
Add oil, and reduce heat to medium high. When oil is hot, add potatoes, and brown, stirring often.
Step 3
Grind beef in food processor.
Step 4
Chop whole onion.
Step 5
As potatoes begin to brown, stir in the beef and brown it.
Step 6
Wash, trim, seed and slice both kinds of peppers into thick strips, and then slice in food processor.
Step 7
Add onion and peppers to the pan, and stir well. Continue cooking over medium heat.
Step 8
Wash, trim and dice tomatoes and add to the pan with thyme, salt and pepper. Cover, and continue cooking over medium-low heat until vegetables are soft and flavors are well blended.
