Taco Bell Fiesta Potatoes

Taco Bell Fiesta Potatoes are cubed russet potatoes coated in a seasoned flour mixture with onion, garlic, paprika, and cayenne powders, then deep-fried until golden and crispy. They are topped with warm cheese sauce and a dollop of sour cream, creating a rich and spicy snack or side dish. The coating gives the potatoes a flavorful crust while the toppings add a creamy and tangy balance.

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Wash and peel potatoes.  Cut potatoes into ½ inch to ¾ inch cubes.  Rinse potatoes off, and pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees.
  3. Prepare seasoned flour for potatoes by combining flour, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a medium-sized bowl.
  4. Drop potato chunks into the flour, and coat well.  Shake off excess seasoned flour before placing into the deep fryer.
  5.  Deep fry for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown.  Remove potatoes from the fryer, and drain on wire rack.
  6. Heat cheese sauce, pour 2 ounces of cheese sauce over potatoes, and top with 1 ounce of sour cream.

Notes

  • For extra toppings, add guacamole, chopped onions, or shredded cheese before serving.
  • Make sure to shake off excess flour before frying to prevent clumping.
