Cheesy Taco Potatoes

INGREDENT

  • 4 medium russet potatoes, washed and diced into cubes
  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey/chicken)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade mix)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup salsa (optional)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes (optional, for topping)
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  3. Meanwhile, cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
  4. Stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water, simmer for 2–3 minutes until well coated.
  5. Once potatoes are roasted, transfer to a baking dish. Layer taco meat on top.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly and return to the oven for 5–7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from oven, top with sour cream, salsa, green onions, and tomatoes.
  8. Serve hot as a main dish or side!

Do you want me to make this a casserole-style baked dish (all layered and baked together) or keep it more like loaded potato nachos?
