Tex-Mex Potatoes
There are five seasons in every year, and my second favorite one 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…
Most of these grilled dishes 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 I 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…
