- 1 teaspoon salt (To season potatoes)
- 1 teaspoon pepper (To season potatoes)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
For the taco beef
- 1 pound ground beef (85/15) (For flavor without too much grease)
- 1 packet taco seasoning (Store bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup water (To make the taco meat saucy)
For the toppings

- optional lettuce (For extra crunch)

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Chop the potatoes into small bite-sized pieces of even size.
- Toss the potato pieces with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
- Spread the potatoes on a sheet pan in a single layer to avoid steaming.
Cooking
- Roast the potatoes for 25-35 minutes, flipping once halfway through until crispy.
- While the potatoes roast, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Drain excess grease if needed, then add taco seasoning and a splash of water.
- Let the beef simmer for a few minutes until it becomes saucy.
Assembly
- Once the potatoes are crispy, add a base of potatoes to each bowl.
- Top with taco beef, cheese, and any additional toppings as desired.
- If extra melty cheese is desired, add it on top of the hot ingredients.
Notes
Customize your bowls with favorite toppings. Ensure potatoes and meat are stored separately for reheating and best texture.
