Ingredients

Scale
  • Russet potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Black beans, drained and rinsed
  • Fresh corn kernels (optional)
  • Shredded lettuce or baby spinach
  • Shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Fresh pico de gallo or your favorite salsa
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Avocado slices or guacamole (optional)
  • Fresh lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and dry russet potatoes. Cut into roughly ½-inch cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, toss diced potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  4. Spread potatoes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, ensuring they have space to crisp.
  5. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. While potatoes roast, rinse and drain black beans, chop cilantro, prepare pico de gallo or salsa, and shred cheese.
  7. Assemble the bowl starting with shredded lettuce or spinach, add black beans and corn, then pile on the crispy roasted potatoes.
  8. Sprinkle cheese over the warm potatoes to melt slightly.
  9. Top with sour cream or Greek yogurt, salsa or pico de gallo, chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
  10. Serve immediately while potatoes are warm and crispy.

Notes

Pat potatoes dry after washing to remove excess moisture for better crispiness. Flip potatoes halfway through roasting for even browning. For vegan versions, substitute cheese and sour cream with plant-based alternatives. Reheat leftovers in a hot oven or skillet to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving.
