Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes (peeled and diced into 3/4-inch pieces)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey (93/7 lean recommended)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 small red onion (chopped)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the diced potatoes on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Bake the potatoes for 30-35 minutes, flipping at the 15-minute mark until golden brown and crispy.

- Stir in the black beans and corn. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.
- Divide the crispy potatoes among serving bowls. Top with the meat mixture and sprinkle shredded cheddar on top, allowing it to melt.
