Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 teaspoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoons Chili powder
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 8 Corn tortillas
• 0.25 cups Fresh cilantro
• 1 Lime
• 1 cups Shredded red cabbage
• 1 cups Diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cups Low-fat Greek yogurt (as an optional topping)
• 0.25 cups Pickled jalapeños (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.

Step 2

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add the diced potatoes. Cook for 8–10 minutes or until just fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet.

Step 4

Sprinkle the potatoes with smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.

Step 5

Cook the seasoned potatoes for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and slightly crispy.

Step 6

While the potatoes cook, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or directly on a stovetop burner for 20–30 seconds per side. Keep them warm in a clean kitchen towel or tortilla warmer.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by dividing the spicy potatoes evenly among the tortillas.

Step 8

Top each taco with shredded red cabbage, diced tomatoes, and pickled jalapeños (if using). Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top and squeeze a little lime juice over each taco for added brightness.

Step 9

If desired, finish with a dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt as a creamy topping.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Fat Spicy Potato Tacos!
