    List of Ingredients




    I made these last week and they were REALLY good. I added a bit of cilantro & diced tomatoes for garnish too. Freakin' YUM!

    Taco Bell Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes

    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
    2 lbs large white potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
    2 tablespoons butter
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    salt and pepper, to taste
    1 1/4 cups cubed Velveeta cheese
    1/4 cup of your favorite salsa
    Tabasco sauce, to taste (I used TB hot sauce)
    1/2 cup sour cream, divided
    1 green onion, chopped (green part only)


    Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
    In a Ziplock bag, mix the garlic powder and cumin together; add the cubed potatoes, seal the Ziplock, and toss it all together until potatoes are coated evenly.
    In a large, heavy skillet over medium heat melt the oil and butter together.
    Add the seasoned potatoes and cook, stirring frequently, until they're a nice, golden brown, about 10 minutes; cover and cook an additional 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender then season to taste with salt and pepper.
    Transfer the sautéed potatoes to a non-stick baking sheet and bake at 475 degrees F for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are nice and crisp.
    When potatoes are almost done baking, place the cubed Velveeta, salsa, and Tabasco into a microwave-safe bowl (I use a large Pyrex measuring bowl) and microwave for 1 minute; stir and microwave another minute; stir again and microwave for 1 more minute, then stir until smooth.
    For each serving, place some potatoes in a bowl, then pour over 1/4 of the melted Velveeta cheese sauce, top with some sour cream, then sprinkle with chopped green onion.
