Make these Crispy Potato Tacos for a fun, budget-friendly vegetarian meal. We fix broken recipes so you get satisfying crunch and great flavor every time.
Boil the diced potatoes until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain them well.
In a bowl, toss the drained potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are browned and crispy on the edges, about 10 minutes.
Warm the corn tortillas according to package directions (you can soften them slightly in a dry skillet or microwave).
Assemble the tacos: Place a portion of the crispy seasoned potatoes into each warm tortilla.
Top with your favorite fresh toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and salsa. Serve immediately.
Notes
For extra crispiness, lightly smash the potatoes with a fork before seasoning and pan-frying.
Ensure the potatoes are very dry after boiling before adding oil; this helps them crisp up better.
Feel free to add a dash of cayenne pepper for extra heat in your potato seasoning.
