Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup sliced black olives
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup corn tortilla chips
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 stalk green onion

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the russet potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes and mash them with 4 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and no longer pink, about 7-8 minutes. Drain excess fat.

Step 5

Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture is well combined and thickens slightly.

Step 6

In a 9-inch pie dish, layer the mashed potatoes evenly on the bottom to form the pie crust.

Step 7

Spread the taco meat mixture evenly on top of the mashed potatoes.

Step 8

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the meat layer.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Let the pie cool for 5 minutes, then top with 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup diced tomatoes, 1/4 cup sliced black olives, 1 cup shredded lettuce, and crushed corn tortilla chips to taste.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped green onion for added color and flavor.

Step 12

Slice and serve the taco potato pie warm. Enjoy!
