Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium-sized potatoes peeled and chopped into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, Monterey jack, or your favorite
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • diced jalapeños optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine the chopped potatoes with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Give it a good mix until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  • Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender.
  • Once the potatoes are done roasting, take them out and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Return to the oven for about 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven, and gather your toppings! Serve hot, garnished with sour cream, cilantro, and any additional toppings you prefer.
