Make these easy roasted Mexican potatoes with bold seasoning for a flavorful and crispy side dish perfect for weeknight dinners or taco night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (or a mix of chili powder, cumin, and oregano)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. Place the cubed potatoes in a large bowl.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and toss until they are evenly coated.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the taco seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the oiled potatoes. Toss well until every piece has a good coating of the Mexican seasoning.
  6. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to ensure crispiness.
  7. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
  8. Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a flavorful potato side dish.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika to your seasoning mix.
  • If you prefer a Cheesy Mexican Potatoes version, sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • These potatoes work well as a component for potato tacos or served alongside eggs for breakfast.
