Tik Tok is filled with many inspirational ideas and videos that go viral. The latest trend has been making DIY fast food, like Taco Bell’s Fiesta Potatoes. This dish can be made at home and the best thing about this DIY is you can make the side dish to your liking rather than the way it comes from the restaurant. This is a quick and simple recipe that can be fun and tasty at the same time. Let’s get the fiesta started.
Ingredients:
2 pounds of potatoes
1/4 cup of canola oil
1/8 cup flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch of cayenne
1 container of Sour Cream
1 jar of nacho cheese
Green onion (optional)
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Wash the potatoes, but do not peel them.
- Boil the potatoes for 20 minutes in a medium size pot.
- Cut the potatoes into 1–2-inch pieces and toss in the canola oil.
- Mix the canola oil into potatoes.
- Mix the flour, black pepper, cornstarch, paprika, salt and cayenne together in a medium size bowl.
- Toss the potatoes in the dry ingredient mixture and mix until the potatoes are coated.
- Place the potatoes on a nonstick baking sheet or spray the sheet with oil.

Trying a recipe for the first time can be a little tricky, but with a bit of practice comes perfection. If you are a big fan of hot sauce, don’t forget to drizzle some on top. The good part about this side dish being a DIY is that you can make it your own. If you feel that this is too unhealthy, you can try a healthier alternative. For instance, what kind of sour cream used is up to the chef’s discretion. Instead of regular sour cream, maybe using low fat or dairy free may be a better option. That is the best part about DIY: you can make Taco Bells’ Fiesta Potatoes however you want. You can add more or less ingredients of your choosing. Whatever way you choose to make it, just make sure you enjoy it.
