Ingredients
- 1 pound of fingerling or baby yellow potatoes, quartered
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- For serving: flour or corn tortillas, pickled cabbage or onions, avocado/guacamole/crema, salsa, cheese, etc
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375˚F / 190˚C. Quarter the potatoes, or if using larger potatoes, dice into 3/4" pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk or stir together the olive oil, chili powder, salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, and onion powder.
- Add in the potatoes and toss well to coat.
- Transfer potatoes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even browning.
- Serve in warmed tortillas with toppings of choice.
Notes
Storage and make ahead: While we would recommend eating these tacos warm, these potatoes can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for 3-5 days, then reheated in the oven, microwave, or on the stovetop just prior to assembling your finished tacos.
Add a protein: For an even more filling taco, feel free to add in your favorite protein. We love using black beans, pinto beans or our favorite sofritas tofu. If you're not vegan/vegetarian, try pairing these with ground/pulled chicken, beef, etc.
Stir the potatoes throughout cooking: Not only will this prevent burning, but it will also ensure that the potato pieces are crispy on all sides.
Warm your tortillas: For more pliable, soft tortillas, warm them up just before serving. To do so, you can either heat directly over an open flame on a gas stove for a few seconds on each side (until slightly charred). Alternatively, wrap several tortillas in damp paper towel and microwave in 20-30 second intervals, until warm and pliable.
Serve as a breakfast taco with scrambled eggs or scrambled tofu.
