Ingredients and substitutions
- Potatoes – I use Yukon potatoes but any roasting potatoes such as russet or red potatoes are good for this recipe.
- Taco seasoning – Homemade taco seasoning or store-bought, use whatever works best for you. I like to make my own spice mix to adjust the salt and heat to suit my family.
- Oil – I like to use extra virgin olive oil but any vegetable oil or animal fat such as duck fat, lard, or tallow would be delicious too.
My top 3 roast potatoes tips
- Oven temp: Make sure the oven is fully preheated for the potatoes to cook
- Adjust seasoning: I use 1 tbsp of seasoning mix per pound of potatoes but you can easily adjust the amount to taste.
- Double batch: These taco potatoes are great for meal prep. Double or triple the recipe to bulk up meals throughout the week from Mexican lunch bowls, to tacos, to potato burritos.
