Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes, ensuring even sizes for consistent cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the toppings: drain and rinse the black beans, drain the sweet corn, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the avocado, and slice the green onions. Grate the cheddar cheese if it's not pre-shredded.
When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large serving platter or individual plates.
Top the roasted potatoes with black beans, sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, diced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream.
Sprinkle chopped cilantro and green onions over the top for a burst of freshness.
Drizzle with hot sauce if desired, and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
