Make delicious, budget-friendly Crispy Potato Tacos. These vegetarian tacos deliver a satisfying crunch and fantastic flavor using simple seasoned potatoes and fresh toppings. You will love how fun and easy these are to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 small corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • Toppings: salsa, avocado, chopped cilantro, sour cream or Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Place the diced potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain well.
  2. In a bowl, toss the cooked potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned potatoes in a single layer. Cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes to allow the bottoms to crisp.
  4. Stir the potatoes gently and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on most sides. Remove from heat.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas according to package directions (heating them in a dry skillet works best for pliability).
  6. Assemble your tacos: Spoon the crispy potatoes onto the warm tortillas.
  7. Add your desired toppings like salsa, avocado slices, cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream or yogurt. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful tacos.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can pan-fry the potatoes instead of boiling first, though this will require more oil.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of smoked paprika to the seasoning mix for deeper flavor.
  • Make sure the potatoes are very dry after boiling before seasoning them. Excess moisture prevents crisping.
