  • You know what they say... "To love is to lose." If you're like me and love Taco Bell more than you should, then you're well-acquainted with losing favorite menu items on a regular basis. Taco Bell removed the Spicy Potato Soft Taco this week, and instead of sulking, I decided to figure out how to make it at home. If this is a go-to of yours, too, or if you're curious to see what the hype's about, give this recipe a try.

    I use this video at least 1x a week. I should write it down haha it’s almost memorized now though! I’m a vegan mom with a carnivore son so when I find something that we can veganize and enjoy we make it a lot. This one is a hit time and time again. Thank youuuuuuuu 🙏

    Thank you for sharing your recipe. I enjoyed your enthusiasm for the Taco Bell spicy potato soft taco.
    A few comments beforehand:
    I am not a vegetarian, but I eat meat on average about three times a week. I don’t eat meat during Lent. I appreciate meat a lot. (I don’t take it for granted. I think so many people take it for granted, and that really bothers me.)
    I had been eating the spicy potato soft taco very happily from about 2016-2020. I was disappointed but not surprised when Taco Bell discontinued it in August 2020. (It is coming back on 3/11/21.)
    Ok, your recipe was good, but I did not shake the boiled potatoes in a bowl with the spices, corn starch, and olive oil. Instead, I drizzled everything on once I placed the boiled potatoes on the pan. Secondly, my pieces were not as small as the pieces in this video. It turned out ok, but it did not taste identical to Taco Bell’s version. Next time I will learn from my two “mistakes.” I think as long as I can get that dry crunch, this will be a keeper.

    Hi if you wanted to achieve the yellowish orange color, just go to a local Indian market and pick up a small container of Their powdered food color. It comes in red, orange and yellow. I favor the yellow. I found the orange to be a bit too reddish. It's amazing I've been cooking with it for years, it adds the proper color to everything including marinades. Best of all it adds no flavor.
    Edit: I forgot to mention that if you add a spoon of baking soda to your potato water it will take care of the alkalinity and you'll get even crispier potatoes.

There's all kinds of things you can add of course to make them even more yummy but then they wouldn't be like Tacobells 😄 which were just super basic in a good way. Try sprinkling on crispy bacon crumbles after the potatoes come out of the oven. Crispy potato bacon chipotle taco? Yessss. Happy Thanksgiving to you 😁
