I realized that I don't have too many side dishes posted ..... what is up with that?! I guess I need to start sharing some of those with y'all as well! :)
Yesterday, I shared my recipe for Spicy Southwest Meatloaf and I told y'all I would be sharing these awesome Taco Tatos with you today! In my humble opinion, these are the perfect side dish with that meatloaf! I think they would be equally great with some sort of Southwest seasoned grilled meat as well. Although I have never tried it yet, I would be tempted to cook the potatoes in foil right along with the meat and save myself some clean-up!
This is one of those side dishes that there is never any leftovers .... my kiddos gobble this stuff up like it's their last meal! I hope you'll give it a try - and if anyone tries cooking them in foil on the grill, I'd love to hear back as to how they turned out .... and if I make them that way, I'll be sure to update this post! :)
