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 🙏
My wife loves these things, so I’m gonna try making them myself because a lot of the time unfortunately the damn potatoes are cold/old unless you find a well rounded location that care about what they are serving to customers. Hopefully this comes out awesome and she loves them just as much! Thanks for the awesome content. Subscribed ✅
Ive tried Taco Bell before, but where I live there isnt Taco Bell...and its such a bumme, but I mke some tacos from time to time so I can remember the flavor of some mexican food. I cant wait to try this recipe. Thank you so much!
Hi Cam, gave this a try and even with boiling the potatoes a little too long, I felt like it came out good. Since you mentioned these are probably fried, I was curious if you've since tried out an air fryer for them? I would like to know if it's worth adjusting to one (and what you've found best), because I usually want to try and use the least amount of time and dishes that need to be cleaned as possible. Thanks,
This, shredded mini quesadilla and the grilled stuff nacho from a loooong time ago was so good! Also the shredded chicken burrito they always get rid of all the good stuff 😫
way better (and cheaper) than taco bell! I subbed out the may and sour cream for 0% Greek Yogurt, with a bit of water to thin it down to consistency. Delicious sauce and high protein!
Came here after they returned this item to the menu - but they don't do it justice. I usually find it to be really inconsistent and would happily dedicate a dinner to these to get my craving curbed that way.
Update: These are fantastic. I even made some for my aunt and she said they were really good (and she's picky with flavors) so that was a huge WIN. I also made the Jalapeño ranch sauce vegan and used vegan cheese. I'm going to refer to them as spicy breakfast tacos in my home, such a great idea. Thank you Cameron!
Wow, I really am so honored you liked them! I love that you made these for your aunt, and appreciate the update! Making them vegan is so smart, Cheers!
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.
@@CameronMarti sorry I'm replying so late, sometimes TH-cam isn't the best at notifying me on time, lol. 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 😁
@@CameronMarti oh shoot I just see that you meant add the powder coloring to. Carne asada marinade, Jamaican jerk chicken, carnitas, Spanish rice, 7 spice basmati rice, chicken shish tawook, endless.
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.
I’m here to support the angry potatoe lovers I stopped going to TB after that. Over priced for how cheap it is to make. Plus they sell all their stuff at the store it’s fresher IMO
YES! They took away my veggie staple! Loved how you kept the fidelity of the recipe and those close up shots! Keep 'em coming!

This is such a massive honor! I am so glad you have been able to use and enjoy it! Cheers!
Sorry I forgot to say. I just tried your recipe and it is spot on ! So good ! Thank you !
Whoa, thank you! I am glad you liked it
How does this only have 3.4K views?? I fckin love the fiesta potatoes & it’s a tragedy they took them away.
Thank you for the video!!! I miss the old menu too specially the potatoes tacos
I appreciate it! I miss the potatoes big time. They are apparently getting rid of a few more menu items later this year
@@CameronMarti yeah thats what I hear too hope they bring everything back later on
I made potato soft tacos last night. Street tacos with whole lettuce, tater tots, and pico de gallo. It was so good.
That sounds pretty wonderful!
My wife loves these things, so I’m gonna try making them myself because a lot of the time unfortunately the damn potatoes are cold/old unless you find a well rounded location that care about what they are serving to customers.

I hope she loves them! Totally agreed about it being a tossup depending on the location. I appreciate the sub!
Making these today, and I'm super excited!
Heck yeah, hope you like them!
I think your recipe is the best on youtube.

It's a bummer that there isn't a Taco Bell near you, but this tastes so similar! Give it a try and let me know if you enjoy it!
@@CameronMarti I already did and I love it! Thamk you so so much for sharing this recipe!
Apparently they’re bringing potatoes back in March! 🎊
Yeah they are, I am so ready!
They bussssinnnn

Yummy! I never tried this at Taco Bell but that looks amazing and I’ll definitely try to make this at home as a breakfast taco.
Thank you! That sounds great too, I think they would be great with chorizo and egg
Oh man 😍 made this this morning and it was delicioussss
I am so honored you already made this! It is great to hear that you liked it!
Omg my bestfriend and I love these we don’t eat meat
This masterpiece is back!
That’s a huge pot for that small amount of potatoes. 😂
Thanks for your video and for the recipe! 😆👍🏽
Thanks for watching!
This, shredded mini quesadilla and the grilled stuff nacho from a loooong time ago was so good! Also the shredded chicken burrito they always get rid of all the good stuff 😫
I was known as taco bell Joe, basically lived there for 5 years then it all went down hill 2019
those were all my favorites 😭
Was craving taco Bell, and found this video. Subbed!
Heck yeah, glad you’re here!
I need to try this! That’s something I love off the Taco Bell menu!
Do you think you could get a similar crispness in an airfryer?
Absolutely! I think that’d work better even
if you wanna boil the potatoes without them falling apart add some salt and vinegar to the water
I enjoy the really crunchy bits that are on the tray after roasting, if the potatoes are too solid, I can't get my favorite part
Yeah i was sad they removed the beef burrito but just added this cheesy potato taco
I don’t have an oven tho but I do have an air fryer. Would this work with air fryer?
It would definitely work in an air fryer, but they would cook faster. You’d need to check them earlier to see if they’re done
They called me "comically large block of cheese" in highschool
I needed this video 💯❤
They keep removing my favorite emergency vegetarian items. Nacho fries, Mexican pizza with beans instead of meat.
Everytime the Nacho Fries go away, my heart's breaks a little bit. Never tried a Mexican pizza with beans though!
I'm eating these right now...so yummy. I would cry if my taco bell took them away
way better (and cheaper) than taco bell!
I subbed out the may and sour cream for 0% Greek Yogurt, with a bit of water to thin it down to consistency. Delicious sauce and high protein!
Thanks for the tips!

Great video man. RIP spicy potato soft taco. I am so sad
Thank you, it was hard to see it go for sure!
I'm making these right now, what temperature do we put them in the oven?
Heck yeah! 400f convection if your oven has it, 425f if not!
@@CameronMarti Okay perfect putting them in the oven RIGHT NOW!! WOOO thank you!!
Update: These are fantastic. I even made some for my aunt and she said they were really good (and she's picky with flavors) so that was a huge WIN.

my favorite taco bell item 🌮
It's absolutely one of the best!
thank u!!!!
I'm not sure if I missed it but can you please tell me the temperature the oven was set at please?
I do 400f convection, or around 425f bake

Happy you enjoyed it!
Its back!
Heck yeah it is, they are as good as ever!

Nice health conscious variation of the TB recipe. But rest assured, the real McCoy is most definitely fried.
Thank you, and you are definitely right about that!
Best
Wish they would bring back their Volcano Tacos. 😡😭 and their Fiesta Potatos.
They always get rid of the good stuff!!! 😐🙄
Volcano tacos used to be my go to big time, I am sad they have never really had a replacement for them. They were so freaking good
SUPER DELICIOUS
Yummy!
par boiled
NOTHING at all Mexican about tqco Bell food but the spicy cheese potato soft taco is tasty enough ,. Mine was the mexi melt add extra pico
Ooohh I loved the mexi melt
I will f ing miss this taco forever. It was so good. F u taco bell for ruining everything
Me too, I was real sad when I heard they were removing it.
Light. Soft. Cheap.
You are missing MSG. That is a key ingredient to Taco Bell potatoes! A little goes a long way too.
I think the chicken powder I used is like 50% msg!
I’m sure turmeric gave it that bright orange color
I’m here to support the angry potatoe lovers I stopped going to TB after that. Over priced for how cheap it is to make. Plus they sell all their stuff at the store it’s fresher IMO
Thank you so much, I agree completely!
Love u
I thought it was a myth
