Description

A flavorful and crispy potato dish inspired by Taco Bell’s classic, featuring seasoned potatoes topped with creamy nacho cheese sauce and sour cream.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound diced potatoes, thawed if frozen
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 15 ounces nacho cheese sauce, heated according to label directions
  • 8 ounces sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, add the diced potatoes and canola oil. Toss to fully coat the potatoes in oil.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Add the seasoning mixture to the potatoes and toss gently to coat them evenly with the seasoning.
  5. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded to allow for crispiness.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes. Carefully flip the potatoes with a spatula and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.
  7. Once baked, divide the potatoes into small serving portions. Top each serving with a generous spoonful of warm nacho cheese sauce and a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

  • Ensure the potatoes are in a single layer on the baking sheet to get the crispiest texture.
  • You can adjust the taco seasoning amount based on your desired spice level.
  • For a richer flavor, try using homemade nacho cheese sauce.
