Method

Preparation of Potatoes

  1. 1

    Peel and Cut Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into wedges or cubes, ensuring they are of uniform size for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season Potatoes

    In a large bowl, combine the cut potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly.

  3. 3

    Bake Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through.

Preparation of Ranchero Crema

  1. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, lime juice, garlic powder, and chopped cilantro. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Serve Potatoes

    Once the potatoes are crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

  2. 6

    Add Ranchero Crema

    Drizzle the ranchero crema generously over the crispy potatoes.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle crumbled cotija cheese and additional chopped cilantro on top of the potatoes and crema before serving.
