As you're no doubt aware by now, I love crispy cubed potatoes or fries loaded with pretty much everything.
Here, I've opted for all the classic taco flavours. It's delicious - and leftovers taste even better the next day.
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 800g (1¾ lb) potatoes, diced into 2m (3/4in) cubes (I used Maris Piper)
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1½ tsp garlic granules
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 red onion, finely diced
- 1 red (bell) pepper, finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 500g (1lb 2oz) lean beef mince (ground beef)
- 25g (scant 1oz) taco seasoning
- 100g (3½ oz) shop-bought salsa
- 1 beef stock cube
- 80g (2¾ oz) reduced-fat Cheddar
For the sauce
- 5 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp low-fat sour cream
- 2 tsp taco seasoning
- Juice of ½ lime
Method:
- In a bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with the smoked paprika, garlic granules, and dried parsley, mixing well to coat.
- Air-fry at 200℃ (390°F) for 15-20 minutes, shaking every 5 minutes. Don't overcrowd your air-fryer, or they will take longer to cook - use both drawers if you have them or cook in batches. Alternatively, cook in an oven preheated to 220°C (200℃ fan/425°F/Gas 7) for 20 minutes or until crispy, turning halfway through.
- Meanwhile, spray a large frying pan with oil and fry the onion and pepper over a low-medium heat for a few minutes to soften. Add the minced garlic and beef, and fry for 3-4 minutes until browned, breaking up the meat with a spoon. Stir in the taco seasoning and salsa, then crumble in the beef stock cube, stirring it in with a dash of boiling water.
- Combine the taco sauce ingredients in a bowl with 1 tablespoon water. Mix well and set aside.
- When everything is ready, tip the crispy potatoes into a heatproof dish and top with the beef mixture, followed by the cheese. Grill (broil) on high for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese. Finally, drizzle over your sauce and serve.
Tip: Serve with lime wedges for squeezing to give it extra zing.
