Categories     appetizer

Time 1h45m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 small russet potatoes (about 4 pounds), washed and dried
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, finely chopped
2 small jalapenos, seeded and finely chopped
2 pounds lean ground beef
1/3 cup tomato paste (from a 6-ounce can)
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 cups grated Cheddar
3 green onions (scallions), finely chopped
3 tomatoes, chopped
2 avocados, chopped
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Sour cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and roast until easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly. Do not turn the oven off.
  • Halve the potatoes lengthwise. Using a small spoon, gently scoop the potato flesh into a bowl, leaving about 1/2 inch on the skins. Set the skins aside. Reserve the potato flesh for another use.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and jalapenos and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the beef and continue to cook, stirring often, until the beef is cooked through.
  • Stir in the tomato paste, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper to combine and cook 1 minute more. Add the heavy cream and cook, stirring, until incorporated and heated through, about 1 minute.
  • Spoon the beef mixture into the hollowed-out potato skins. Put the potato skins on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with the Cheddar and bake until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a platter and top with the green onions, tomatoes, avocados, cilantro and sour cream if using.

LOADED LITTLE POTATO TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY



Loaded Little Potato Tacos Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: Little Potato Company Blushing Belle Potatoes, vegetable oil, corn tortillas, olive oil, large red onion, shredded chicken, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, ground cumin, chipotle powder, paprika, ground cinnamon, fresh cilantro leaf, lime zest, fire-roasted whole corn kernels, roma tomato, crema Mexicana, fresh cilantro, lime, crumbled queso fresco, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper

Provided by The Little Potato Company

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 10 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 bag Little Potato Company Blushing Belle Potatoes
¼ cup vegetable oil, plus 2 tablespoons
10 corn tortillas, warmed
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
½ large red onion, thinly sliced
1 ½ cups shredded chicken
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon chipotle powder
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
fresh cilantro leaf, for garnish
lime zest, for garnish
1 can fire-roasted whole corn kernels, drained
⅓ cup roma tomato, diced
¼ cup crema Mexicana
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lime, zested
¼ cup crumbled queso fresco
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add the Little Potato Company Blushing Belle Potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes, or according to the package instructions, until tender. Drain and let cool for 10 minutes.
  • In a medium pan over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil until it reaches 300°F (150°C). Fold a tortilla in half and use tongs to hold the folded edge in the hot oil for 20 seconds, or until golden brown. Lay the tortilla in the oil and fry on each side for 30-60 seconds, until golden brown and crunchy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and repeat with the remaining tortillas. Set aside until ready to assemble the tacos.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a clean medium pan over medium-low heat. Add the red onion and sauté for 6 minutes, or until softened and lightly charred. Add the shredded chicken, 1 teaspoon salt, and the black pepper, and cook for 2 minutes, or until the chicken is well incorporated. Transfer the chicken mixture to a bowl and wipe out the pan.
  • Using the palm of your hand, gently smash each potato, leaving the potatoes mostly intact. Transfer the potatoes to a medium bowl and gently toss with the cumin, chipotle powder, paprika, cinnamon, and remaining teaspoon of salt until well coated.
  • In the same medium pan, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, lightly fry the seasoned potatoes until crispy and golden brown, 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Make the elote-style salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the fire-roasted corn, tomato, crema, cilantro, lime zest, queso fresco, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
  • Assemble the tacos: Fill a taco shell with the chicken mixture and crispy potatoes. Top with the elote-style salsa and garnish with cilantro leaves and lime zest. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Enjoy!

Tips

  • Use russet potatoes: They're the best type of potato for potato skins because they have a thick skin and a fluffy interior.
  • Bake the potatoes until they're fork-tender: This will ensure that they're cooked through but not overcooked.
  • Scoop out the potato flesh: Be careful not to scoop out too much of the flesh, or the potato skins will be too thin and won't be able to hold the toppings.
  • Load up the potato skins with your favorite toppings: There are endless possibilities for toppings, so get creative! Some popular options include cheese, bacon, sour cream, chili, and guacamole.
  • Bake the potato skins until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will take about 10-15 minutes.
