Ingredients

• 2 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 small Corn tortillas
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 large Lime

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, approximately 1/2 inch in size, for quick and even cooking.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a separate smaller pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the onion and garlic mixture. Stir well to combine and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes to release the spices' aroma.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are golden and cooked through, add the onion-spice mixture to the skillet with the potatoes. Stir everything together, ensuring the potatoes are well-coated with the spices. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Heat the corn tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat, approximately 30 seconds on each side, until they are warm and pliable.

Step 8

Fill each tortilla with a couple of spoonfuls of the potato mixture. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime juice.

Step 9

Serve the crispy potato tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra zing.
