Tex-Mex Potatoes
There are 5 seasons in every year and my second favorite season after summer is BBQ season! That’s right… BBQ season 🔥! Third is fall then spring and of course winter is my least favorite. Anyway… is it that I’ve been a foody all my life or I’m just a BBQ fanatic because when it comes to grilled food, everything tastes so a-m-a-z-i-n-g!
I enjoy 😋 many dishes on the BBQ like Beef Shish Kebabs, Caribbean Jerk BBQ Pork Chops, Fish Tacos, Huli-huli Chicken, Turkish Kebabs, Lamb Kofta, Rotisserie Chicken, Tomatoes Provençal, Creole Shrimp & Andouille Skewers, and many more…
The thing is that most of these grilled dishes that we cook during the BBQ season need a nice side dish like this one… Tex-Mex Potatoes! It’s such a tasty potato dish 🥔 and goes well with many proteins. Although I like spicy food, this one is not but you can always make it “hotter” by adding jalapeño peppers along with a little bit of red pepper flakes or even cayenne pepper. By all means, play with the recipe using your favorite spices and ingredients.
Besides its flavors, these Tex-Mex Potatoes are visually quite appetizing! Like they say – “We eat with our eyes 👀 first” and that’s the case with this recipe. The colors are vibrant and fun. It’s very summery!
I like to use assorted baby potatoes but you can always use fingerling, russet, Yukon gold or any other varieties you enjoy. I haven’t tried it with yams 🍠 yet but I imagine it would be an interesting combination. Like I showed you in the video, this dish can be cooked in the oven but it works out just fine on the BBQ too therefore choose the cooking method you prefer.
This summer 😎 turn your ordinary potato dishes into a scrumptious one by making these Tex-Mex Potatoes. They’ll definitely be a hit at your next backyard party…
