We love this really simple but flavorful Mexican Potatoes recipe. It’s only takes a few minutes to prepare, is a delicious side dish, and the potatoes are wonderful folded into a taco shell too. It’s a perfect side dish for a busy week night or to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

    These look great. I love how easy they are to make. You could even through a little shredded cheddar cheese on them. Thanks for the recipe.

    I think I’d love it but unsure about the 8 yr old. However we do do our potatoes this way and just choose different seasonings each time…like ranch or rosemary.

    I love potatoes! This sounds like such a yummy, quick way of “spicing” potatoes up. I will definitely being trying this soon!

    Never thought to use taco seasoning – yum!

    I enjoyed the recipe but I added my own lil touch to it. The last 10 mins I added shredded cheese and taco seasoning. When it cooled I topped it with salsa and sour cream. It was delicious.

    This sounds so easy and tasty! I wonder why I so seldom make potatoes.

    Yum! Sounds quick and easy, and I have red potatoes I need to use in the pantry right now. I may have to try this tonight!

    Thanks Tired Mom!

    Cinco de Mayo is more known to me as my eldest daughter’s baptism day. She will adore it.

    That does sound good-and easy (two of my favorite things!)

    I’ve been hearing all about Cinco de Mayo today for the first time. I guess we don’t celebrate that here in Wisconsin….

    No, we don’t celebrate Cinco de Mayo, but that is a great and simple recipe. Love it.

    That sounds delicious! And easy! I made potatoes with a blackened seasoning on them once and that was good too…although not an appropriate tie-in for Cinco de Mayo. lol

Fast forward a bit—now the kids are off to college (how did that happened so fast!) and since 2009, I’ve been blogging through the chaos, coffee in hand, finding the best in family, travel, and tech—because honestly, who has time for bad gadgets and boring trips?

So, whether you're searching for family travel inspiration, tech gadgets, or tips to enhance family life, you're in the right place because the fun (and the coffee) is always brewing around here!
