Ingredients
4 medium potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1/4 cup cornmeal
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Thoroughly wash and scrub the potatoes under cold running water to remove all dirt, then pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into wedge-shaped pieces, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss well until every piece is evenly coated with oil.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning and cornmeal over the oiled potatoes. Toss thoroughly to ensure an even coating of the seasonings on all pieces.
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet, skin-side down.
Bake in the preheated 400°F oven for approximately 30 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Comments
A stripped-down weeknight side that lives up to its name without fuss. Potatoes, olive oil, taco seasoning, and cornmeal are all standard stock at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, ALDI, Kroger, and Walmart—no special stops needed. The 45-minute stated time is honest for roasting; cost per serving lands around $0.40–0.60 depending on potato size and oil brand, driven mainly by the potatoes themselves. The real caveat: this is a side dish, not a meal, and it doesn't keep well once the cornmeal crust softens—plan to eat it the same night, warm from the oven.
