Make oven roasted Mexican potatoes that are crispy outside and fluffy inside. This easy recipe uses taco seasoning and chipotle for bold flavor, perfect as a side dish for taco night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder (adjust for heat preference)
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the cubed potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and chipotle powder. Mix the spices well.
  4. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potatoes. Toss everything together until every potato piece has a good coating of seasoning.
  5. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to promote crisping.
  6. Roast for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and use a spatula to flip the potatoes.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are deep golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  8. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Immediately drizzle with fresh lime juice and toss gently.
  9. Transfer the Mexican potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving hot.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, ensure the potatoes are completely dry before tossing them with oil and spices.
  • If you prefer an air fryer method, cook at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
  • Serve these flavorful roasted potatoes alongside tacos, grilled chicken, or as a hearty component for breakfast burritos.
