Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure a perfectly crispy finish for your potatoes.
Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Toss the cubed potatoes in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder until they are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes onto a large baking sheet in a single layer. Roast them for 25-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they achieve a gorgeous golden brown and crispy texture.
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Break it into crumbles as it cooks, letting it sizzle until it’s fully browned.
Drain any excess fat from the beef, then reduce the heat to medium. Add the diced onion, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until it becomes aromatic.
Incorporate the taco seasoning and water or beef broth into the skillet, stirring well to coat the beef.
Allow it to simmer for 5-7 minutes, letting the sauce thicken and the flavors meld together.
Assemble the bowls by starting with a base of your golden roasted potatoes.
Spoon the seasoned ground beef generously over the potatoes, then sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
Dollop sour cream or Greek yogurt in the center, then finish with toppings like chopped green onions, cilantro, salsa, and avocado.
Add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick, then serve immediately.
For the best results, ensure your potatoes are cut into uniform 1-inch cubes for even roasting. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet for better crispiness.
