Here is a copycat recipe for the cheesy fiesta potatoes from Taco Bell. This recipe consists of roast potatoes that are topped with sour cream and nacho cheese. The potatoes are seasoned with cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and then fried in the pan until golden brown. The cooking process is finished in the oven and these potatoes are ready to serve. The flavor is so good that you could eat these without the nacho cheese and sour cream if desired. You can also top these potatoes with additional ingredients such as green onion and hot sauce. Enjoy.
