Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 pound Ground beef (or turkey, optional)
• 1 packet Taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 0.25 cup Pickled jalapeño slices
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into 1-inch cubes, leaving the skin on for added texture.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, chili powder, and ground cumin until well coated.

Step 4

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

Step 5

While the potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef (or turkey), breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.

Step 6

Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the cooked meat. Stir well and simmer for a few minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to an oven-safe serving dish or leave them on the baking sheet. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potatoes.

Step 8

Place the dish back into the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the cheesy potatoes from the oven and top with the seasoned meat.

Step 10

Add your favorite nacho toppings: dollop sour cream, drizzle salsa, and sprinkle with black olives, green onions, pickled jalapeños, and fresh cilantro if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your Nacho Potatoes!
