Instructions
Peel and dice the Russet potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Place them in a large pot with cold water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool completely while preparing the rest of the dish.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces. Drain any excess grease.
Add the taco seasoning mix and 1/4 cup of water to the cooked ground beef. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 additional minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and chili powder. Mix until smooth and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the cooled potatoes with the romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes (halved), shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced black olives.
Add the seasoned ground beef to the salad and gently mix to combine.
Drizzle the mayonnaise and sour cream dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat all ingredients evenly.
Top the salad with crumbled tortilla chips, chopped green onions, and cilantro for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your unique Potaco Salad Potato Taco Salad!
