Description

Mini Taco Stuffed Potatoes are a fun and flavorful appetizer or snack featuring bite-sized potatoes loaded with seasoned taco meat, melty cheese, and your favorite toppings. Perfect for parties, game days, or weeknight bites.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes (Yukon gold or red)
  • 1/2 lb ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Sour cream, chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, jalapeños (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes, or until tender.
  3. Meanwhile, cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
  4. Add taco seasoning and water to the meat. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until thickened.
  5. Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice off the top of each and scoop out a small amount from the center using a melon baller or spoon.
  6. Fill each potato with taco meat and top with shredded cheese.
  7. Return to the oven for 5–7 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
  8. Top with sour cream, green onions, tomatoes, or jalapeños if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can make these ahead and reheat before serving.
  • Use black beans instead of meat for a vegetarian version.
  • Mini potatoes can be boiled instead of roasted for a faster prep.
