Method

TACOS

  1. 1

    Prep and preheat

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Season potatoes

    In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Roast until crisp

    Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway, until edges are golden and potatoes are crisp on the outside and tender inside.

  4. 4

    Optional extra crisp

    Optional: broil for 1-2 minutes on high to intensify crispness. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.

  5. 5

    Serve in tacos

    Transfer the potato crisp to a platter or directly into warm tortillas. Toss with a squeeze of lime and cilantro if desired, and top with your preferred taco toppings.
