Step-by-Step Instructions for Mexican Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your ingredients, including medium-sized potatoes and seasoning spices.
  2. Peel and cube the potatoes into small pieces, about 1-inch in size. Place the diced potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Drizzle in olive oil and sprinkle all the seasonings over the cubed potatoes. Stir well to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, tossing halfway through for even browning, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Serve hot, topped with your favorite additions.
