Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 cup chopped green onions
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- Avocado slices, for topping
- Chopped turkey bacon or crispy turkey bacon bits (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
- Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mash gently with a potato masher until creamy but still chunky.

- In a cozy bowl, layer a generous scoop of mashed potatoes, followed by seasoned beef. Sprinkle shredded cheese while it’s still warm to let it melt.
- Dollop with sour cream or Greek yogurt, add chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, and crispy turkey bacon pieces and avocado slices if desired.
