Make flavorful, crispy Mexican potatoes using simple spices. This recipe is approachable for all cooks and perfect as a versatile side dish for weeknight dinners or Taco Tuesday.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Optional: Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the cubed potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  4. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potatoes. Toss everything well until the potatoes are completely coated with the seasoning.
  5. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for maximum crispiness.
  6. Roast for 25 to 35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
  7. Remove from the oven. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if using, and serve immediately with lime wedges.

Notes

  • For extra street-style flavor, toss the hot, finished potatoes with 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice and 1/4 cup crumbled Cotija cheese.
  • If you are looking for structured eating guidance alongside your cooking, consider looking into a structured meal planning system.
  • If you prefer a different cooking method, these potatoes work well in an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
