Ingredients 

  • 6 medium size red potatoes washed and diced into ½-inch pieces, about 6 cups worth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder optional
  • ½ teaspoon cumin powder
  • 8 6-inch flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican shredded cheese blend
  • 1 cup roasted and chopped green chile
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
  • sour cream OPTIONAL
  • salsa OPTIONAL

Instructions

Potato Roasting Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Place the sliced potatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Sprinkle generously with all of the spices. Toss with your hands to thoroughly coat.
  • Roast for 20 minutes, until tender and lightly browned on the edges. Remove from the oven and stir or flip the potatoes over with a thin spatula. Roast an additional 10-20 minutes until deep golden brown.

Taco Instructions

  • When the potatoes are almost done roasting, warm the tortillas either in the oven or microwave. If you have a gas stove, the stovetop flame can be used to lightly char each tortilla. Place the warmed tortillas in a clean tea towel until ready to use.
  • In a large non-stick skillet, over medium heat, combine the potatoes, green chile, and cheese. Lightly stir to melt the cheese - as the melted cheese will assist in holding the tacos together.
  • Divide the potato mixture between the warm tortillas. Sprinkle each taco with cilantro and serve warm with sour cream and/or salsa if desired.
