Spicy Potato Tacos - How To Make Potato Tacos

Step 1Add potatoes to a medium pot, and cover with 2 inches of water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and bring to a boil.

Step 2Once at a boil, reduce heat to a simmer. Cook potatoes until a knife or fork inserted into them meets no resistance, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain potatoes and let them cool. Once cooled enough to handle, transfer them to a cutting board and cut them into ½” cubes. Set aside.

Step 3In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ teaspoons salt, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne. Add potatoes and toss until thoroughly combined.

Step 4In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the potatoes, and cook until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 5Top tortillas with the potatoes, avocado, pickled onions, cotija cheese, and cilantro.
