We love this really simple but flavorful Mexican Potatoes recipe. It’s only takes a few minutes to prepare, is a delicious side dish, and the potatoes are wonderful folded into a taco shell too. It’s a perfect side dish for a busy week night or to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

1 tablespoon of taco seasoning

1. In a large resealable plastic bag combine potatoes, oil, and taco seasoning. Shake to coat the potatoes.
2. Place the potatoes in an 8 x 8 baking dish.Bake uncovered at 450 degrees for 40 minutes stirring potatoes every 10 minutes.
3. Eat and enjoy!

These look great. I love how easy they are to make. You could even through a little shredded cheddar cheese on them. Thanks for the recipe.

I think I’d love it but unsure about the 8 yr old. However we do do our potatoes this way and just choose different seasonings each time…like ranch or rosemary.

I enjoyed the recipe but I added my own lil touch to it. The last 10 mins I added shredded cheese and taco seasoning. When it cooled I topped it with salsa and sour cream. It was delicious.

This sounds so easy and tasty! I wonder why I so seldom make potatoes.

Cinco de Mayo is more known to me as my eldest daughter’s baptism day. She will adore it.

That does sound good-and easy (two of my favorite things!)

I’ve been hearing all about Cinco de Mayo today for the first time. I guess we don’t celebrate that here in Wisconsin….
- Bibi says
No, we don’t celebrate Cinco de Mayo, but that is a great and simple recipe. Love it.

That sounds delicious! And easy! I made potatoes with a blackened seasoning on them once and that was good too…although not an appropriate tie-in for Cinco de Mayo. lol
