Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Low sodium cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Low sodium cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Dice the russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes without removing the skin for extra nutrients.
In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and ground black pepper until well coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the cheese sauce. In a blender, combine the low sodium cheddar cheese, low sodium cottage cheese, and unsweetened almond milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the cheese mixture to a small saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is warm and gooey.
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
Drizzle the warm cheese sauce over the roasted potatoes.
Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve the Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes hot and enjoy!
