Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 3 large potatoes, cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until well coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even crispness.
While the potatoes cook, mix the sour cream and milk in a small bowl until smooth; set aside.
Once the potatoes are golden and crisp, transfer them to a serving dish. Drizzle with the sour cream mixture, then top with shredded cheddar.
Garnish with green onions, black olives, tomatoes, and jalapeños if desired.
Serve immediately while the cheese is melted and the potatoes are warm.
Enjoy the fiesta at your table!
