Notes
No need to peel the potatoes if you don't want to! It will make them extra crispy.
You could make homemade nacho cheese if you prefer but it won't be as close to the Taco Bell dish. Or, you could also use shredded cheese instead.
For easy clean up, you can toss the potatoes with the oil and seasoning in a large ziploc bag.
