Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s start with the fries! I like to peel the russet potatoes (but it’s totally fine to leave the skin on if you prefer). Cut them into thin strips and soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes. This step helps remove excess starch and results in crispier fries. While the fries are soaking, I move on to the beef. In a skillet, I brown the ground beef over medium heat, then add the taco seasoning according to package instructions. The savory aroma will start wafting through my kitchen, and I can hardly wait!
