Directions
-
Start by preparing the russet potatoes. Toss the diced potatoes in a large bowl with oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Make sure they are evenly coated. The key steps here are to ensure that every piece is well-seasoned for a tremendous flavor.
-
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Once it’s ready, place the seasoned potatoes in the basket. Air fry them for 18-20 minutes, shaking the basket 2-3 times during cooking to ensure they crisp up evenly.
-
While the potatoes are cooking, move on to the filling. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Once the beef is fully cooked and no longer pink, drain any excess grease.
-
Add the taco seasoning and the amount of water specified on the package to the skillet with the beef. Stir well and let it simmer according to the package directions, allowing all the tremendous flavors to meld nicely together.
-
After the potatoes are crispy and the beef is flavor-infused, it’s time to layer your dish. On a serving plate, arrange a bed of crispy potatoes, then generously spoon the seasoned beef on top.
-
Sprinkle a hearty amount of shredded Mexican cheese over the beef. The cheese should be an indulgent layer, melting into that warm beef like an inviting hug.
-
For the final touch, garnish with your choice of optional toppings such as pico de gallo, guacamole, or sour cream. These additions elevate the dish, adding freshness and even more flavor.
