We love this really simple but flavorful Taco 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.
One night I needed a side dish for dinner and wasn’t sure what to make. I noticed that we had potatoes sitting in a bowl just waiting to be chopped and seasoned. I looked through our seasonings and spices and nothing was standing out. I grabbed a packet of taco seasoning and a light bulb went off. While it takes a bit for this recipe to cook it is so delicious and flavorful that it’s worth it. It gets lots of compliments when I serve it and everyone is always surprised that it’s only 3 ingredients.
While I love using the simple store bought taco seasoning, one day I’d like to try it making my own taco seasoning one time. I’ve seen a few recipes floating around for it and it looks simple enough to try that I’m sure that it would add and extra freshness to the dish making it even more delicious. I’d also love to try topping it with cheese and bacon one time and then dipping it in Ranch dressing. It would then become an indulgent side dish but a delicious one at that! It’s a great dish that can be kept simple like the recipe above or easily customized with toppings and dips that could take it in a new direction.
This Taco Potatoes recipe is a perfect side dish for a busy week night or to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and it’s fast become one of our favorites.

Yum! When I have leftover taco meat I often make a baked potato and top with meat and cheese so I think this would taste great

Nice twist to pototoes. I have a similar recipe that uses Lipton Onion soup mix. If you have some on hand & would like a change, try it. It’s a big hit in house! I’m going to try the taco mix. Have tons of it in the pantry. Thanks for the recipe.
Looks yummy! I am going to try this recipe
Pretty simple – might try this next week.

I could eat potatoes every day of the week.
These look awesome! Can’t wait to try them!
Wow! This recipe looks really awesome! I’ve never even thought about putting taco seasoning on potatoes even though I usually have a packet on hand. I’m definitely trying this soon!
