Ingredients
For the potatoes:
2 pounds potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
For serving:
Tortillas
Shredded lettuce
Chopped tomatoes
Shredded vegan cheese
Salsa or sauce of choice
Instructions
Prep potatoes: Cut potatoes into small bite-sized pieces. Place in a bowl, cover with water, and let sit 30 minutes. Drain, rinse, and pat dry.
Cook potatoes: Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add potatoes and spices. Cook, stirring often, until golden brown on most sides (this may take time, but creates the perfect crispy texture).
Assemble tacos: Serve spiced potatoes in tortillas and top with lettuce, tomatoes, vegan cheese, salsa, or toppings of choice.
Notes
Add beans, fried tofu, or tempeh for extra protein.
Swap cayenne for chipotle powder for smoky heat.
For crispier potatoes, roast in the oven at 425°F for ~25 minutes, flipping halfway.
Best served fresh but leftovers can be reheated in a skillet for crunch.
