Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 15-ounce can (drained and rinsed) Black beans
• 1 15-ounce can (drained) Sweet corn
• 1 cup (halved) Cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
• 2 stalks (sliced) Green onions
• 2 teaspoons (optional) Hot sauce
• 1 large (diced) Avocado
• 1 large (cut into wedges) Lime

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the russet potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes, ensuring even sizes for consistent cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the toppings: drain and rinse the black beans, drain the sweet corn, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the avocado, and slice the green onions. Grate the cheddar cheese if it's not pre-shredded.

Step 6

When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large serving platter or individual plates.

Step 7

Top the roasted potatoes with black beans, sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, diced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream.

Step 8

Sprinkle chopped cilantro and green onions over the top for a burst of freshness.

Step 9

Drizzle with hot sauce if desired, and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.

Step 10

Enjoy your Fiesta Potato Pile as a standalone meal or as a side dish for your favorite protein!
