Recipe View 0 mins Serve the crispy potato tacos immediately with Ranch-style salad dressing for dipping. Enjoy!

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the potato mixture.
If you don't have Ranch dressing on hand, sour cream or guacamole also make excellent dipping sauces.
These tacos can be assembled ahead of time and fried just before serving. Keep the assembled tacos covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
Experiment with different cheeses! Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or even a Mexican blend would be delicious.
