Peel and dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the diced potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes until they are just beginning to soften. Drain and let them cool slightly.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the boiled potatoes and cook in a single layer without stirring for about 5 minutes to create a crispy texture.
Once the potatoes begin to brown, sprinkle them with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally to ensure even crisping and seasoning.
While the potatoes are crisping, warm the corn tortillas in another skillet or directly over a gas flame for a few seconds on each side until pliable and slightly charred.
Finely dice the red onion and chop the cilantro. Slice the avocado and the lime into wedges.
Assemble the tacos by placing some crispy potatoes in each warm tortilla. Top with avocado slices, diced red onion, and a generous sprinkle of cilantro. Squeeze a lime wedge over each taco before serving.
