Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Dice potatoes and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain grease, add taco seasoning and water, and simmer until thickened.
Transfer roasted potatoes to a baking dish. Spoon the taco beef mixture over the top and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake for an additional 5–7 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Top with chopped green onions and a dollop of sour cream. Serve hot with optional toppings like diced tomatoes, avocado, or jalapeños.

Notes

Customize with vegetarian options like black beans or plant-based meat.
Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
Use a cheese blend like Monterey Jack and pepper jack for extra flavor.
Homemade taco seasoning: mix chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
