Mini Taco Stuffed Potatoes

Mini Taco Stuffed Potatoes are a fun and flavorful appetizer where crispy baby potatoes are filled with seasoned taco meat, cheese, and fresh toppings. Perfect for parties, game day, or family snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1. 1 lb baby potatoes
  • 2. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3. 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 4. 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 5. 1/4 cup water
  • 6. 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 7. 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 8. 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 9. 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 10. Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss baby potatoes with olive oil, place on the baking sheet, and roast for 25–30 minutes until tender.
  3. While potatoes bake, cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
  4. Stir in taco seasoning and water, simmering for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
  5. Once potatoes are cooked, allow them to cool slightly. Slice off the top of each and scoop out a small portion to create a cavity.
  6. Fill each potato with taco meat, sprinkle with shredded cheddar, and return to the oven for 5 minutes until cheese melts.
  7. Top with sour cream, diced tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • Add jalapeños for extra heat.
  • These can be prepared ahead of time and reheated before serving.
  • Serve with salsa or guacamole on the side for dipping.
