Fiesta Potato Bowls: A Delicious and Customizable Comfort Food Delight

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 pound ground beef (80/20 or 85/15)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (use 3/4 for meat, reserve 1/4 for topping)
  • 1 ounce taco seasoning
  • 1/2 – 1 cup water or beef broth
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 8 ounce freshly grated mild cheddar cheese
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 Roma tomato, diced
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Reserved 1/4 chopped yellow onion
  • Your favorite hot sauce (e.g., Taco Bell sauce)
  • Optional: sour cream or Greek yogurt, sliced jalapeños, avocado or guacamole

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the potato slices with olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper. Spread the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping them halfway, until they’re golden and crispy.

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with 3/4 of the chopped onion until it’s browned and crumbly. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning and water or broth. Simmer the mixture for 5–7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.

3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and whisk in the flour, salt, pepper, and chili powder. Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth and silky. Finally, add the grated cheddar cheese and stir until it’s melted and the sauce has reached the perfect velvety consistency.

4. Layer the baked potato slices in bowls, then top them with the flavorful taco meat. Drizzle the cheese sauce over the top, and finish with lime juice, diced tomato, chopped cilantro, and reserved onion. Add hot sauce and optional toppings as desired.

Notes

Serve warm and allow customization. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat before serving.
