Instructions
Creating Delicious Mexican Potatoes is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Scrub and wash the potatoes thoroughly. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients.
3. Cut the Potatoes: Dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
4. Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed potatoes, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
5. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Remember to toss them halfway through for even cooking.
7. Add Freshness: Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven. Drizzle lime juice over the hot potatoes and toss in the chopped cilantro.
8. Serve Hot: If desired, sprinkle diced jalapeños or shredded cheese on top before serving.
