Instructions

To start, place the whole, washed potatoes in a pot with 1 quart of water and bring to a boil. Let the potatoes parboil for about 20 minutes, just until they start to become tender. Drain the potatoes and dice them into 1-inch chunks, ready for the next step.
In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with the vegetable oil to coat them evenly. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the oiled potatoes and toss to ensure the potatoes are fully coated in the flavorful blend.
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Spread the seasoned potato chunks in a single layer on two greased baking sheets, making sure not to overcrowd them. Bake for 40 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
Once the Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes are fresh out of the oven, it’s time to add the crowning glory – a generous drizzle of warm nacho cheese sauce and a dollop of cool, creamy sour cream. The melty cheese and tangy sour cream complement the spiced and crispy potatoes to create a truly indulgent and flavor-packed dish.

Notes

Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes can be served as a mouthwatering side dish or even as a satisfying main course. They pair beautifully with grilled meats or can be enjoyed as a vegetarian-friendly option when served alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
