So there’s this new kinda hole in the wall taqueria that opened up near our house than makes THE BEST LEGIT $3 tacos. Seriously, they are SO SO GOOD. My favorite is the potato taco so naturally I attempted to recreate it… and these simple crispy potato tacos were born. Boiled then sautéed bite-sized potato pieces covered in spices served in a toasted corn tortilla with simple guac, diced red onions, salsa, and cilantro for Taco Tuesday dinner perfection or whatever night it is! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Simple crispy potato taco recipe:
simple crispy potato tacos
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes diced into ½ inch pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- healthy pinch salt and pepper x 2
- 16 corn tortillas toasted (I put mine in the oven at 300F for a couple minutes)
- 1 avocado
- juice of one lime
- ½ red onion finely diced
- 1 cup your favorite salsa
- ¼ cup freshly minced cilantro
Instructions
- Add potatoes to a large pot then cover them by 1-inch with water. Cover pot then bring to a boil over medium heat. Once water is boiling, cook the potatoes for 10-15 minutes or until tender then drain potatoes into a colander and pat dry with a towel.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Toss to coat then cook until potatoes start to crisp up, about 5-7 minutes, stirring often.
- Meanwhile, mash together your avocado flesh with 1-2 tbsps lime juice plus a healthy pinch of salt and pepper for a simple guac. Also, toast your corn tortillas at this time.
- Spread simple guac in each of the toasted tortillas, top with crispy potatoes, diced red onion, a dollop of salsa, then a sprinkle of freshly minced cilantro and enjoy!
