Description

Crispy roasted potatoes topped with seasoned beef or black beans, cheese, and fresh garnishes create a satisfying meal in one bowl.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 lb ground beef or black beans
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup salsa
  • ¼ cup sliced green onions
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • Optional: diced tomatoes, corn, jalapeños, olives

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) while you prepare the ingredients.
  2. Toss the diced potatoes in a bowl with olive oil and the seasonings until well-coated.
  3. Spread the potatoes evenly across a baking sheet, ensuring they have space.
  4. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no pink remains.
  6. Add the taco seasoning and a splash of water to the beef, simmering until thickened.
  7. Transfer potatoes to serving bowls and sprinkle with shredded cheese while hot.
  8. Top with the seasoned meat or black beans, layering on toppings like salsa, green onions, and cilantro.
  9. Finish with a generous dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.

Notes

Ensure even coating of oil on potatoes for optimal crispiness; black beans can be used for a vegetarian option.
