Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin making these delightful Fiesta Potatoes, wash and peel the russet potatoes. Once your potatoes are clean, cut them into bite-sized cubes, about 1-inch in size. This way, they’ll cook evenly and get that nice crispy texture we love. After you’ve cut them up, pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture; trust me, this will help them fry better. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
