Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Mexican Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare your baking sheet with parchment paper or a light coat of oil.
  2. Peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the cubed potatoes and add salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, dried oregano, and dried parsley. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on your baking sheet, ensuring they have space to roast.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, tossing halfway through for even cooking. They should be golden and crispy outside, tender inside.
  6. Remove from the oven and serve hot, adding toppings like crumbled chorizo or zesty salsa verde as desired.
