Calories 150kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs Russet potatoes, scrubbed and diced into ½ inch cubes
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoon cumin
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 10-12 corn tortillas
- onion, tomato, cilantro, avocado, cheese, limes, sour cream for topping
Instructions
- Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold water, making sure they are covered. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-15 minutes or until they are fork tender. Drain the potatoes.
- Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and toss with the cornstarch, cumin, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes in a single layer and cook for about 3 minutes so they get crispy. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
- For tortillas, heat small skillet over medium-high heat and cook for 30 seconds on both sides. Serve crispy potatoes over warm tortillas with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Be consistent when cutting potatoes so it will cook evenly.
- I keep the skin on for added texture but you can remove the skin.
- Start potatoes in cold water and bring to a boil and then reduce to simmer. If you start in hot water, the potatoes will cook unevenly.
- Cook until just done and drain potatoes well to avoid a mushy, watery mess.
