Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 small Corn tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Add the potatoes to the skillet and sprinkle the spice mixture over them. Stir to evenly coat the potatoes with the spices.
Step 5
Cook the potatoes for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Step 6
While the potatoes are cooking, warm the corn tortillas either in a dry skillet over low heat or in a microwave.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with the hot sauce to create a spicy cream sauce.
Step 8
To assemble each taco, place a portion of spicy potatoes on a warm tortilla, followed by a layer of lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and a drizzle of spicy cream sauce.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve immediately, allowing each person to customize their taco with additional hot sauce if desired.
