Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs russet potatoes, scrubbed and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup frozen or canned corn, drained
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup salsa (your favorite kind)
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • Optional: Sour cream or Greek yogurt for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
  4. While the potatoes roast, prepare the toppings. In a small bowl, gently combine the rinsed black beans, corn, salsa, and lime juice.
  5. Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven.
  6. Assemble your loaded potato bowls: Divide the crispy roasted potatoes among serving bowls.
  7. Spoon the black bean and corn mixture over the potatoes.
  8. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro.
  9. Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired. Serve immediately for a hearty potato supper.
