My family loves to eat! Sharing meals together has always been a priority. As a mom and assigned “chef” of the house, I make sure to come up with delicious and healthy dishes for us to try.
Nutritious food is a must in our home, especially since we have a senior and a child to feed. They also tend to eat less, so we have to ensure that they consume enough to meet the recommended daily values of nutrients.
This can sometimes be a challenge. We lean towards cooking the same food over and over, particularly when we’re too busy with our work and other chores. So, I try to find time to pre-plan our meals and add as many fruits, vegetables and other whole foods to our dishes.
Thankfully, everyone loves to eat fruits and vegetables at home, and a family favorite is the humble (but mighty!) potato. Why? It’s budget-friendly, we can get them in stores virtually anywhere, it provides tons of recipe options, and most importantly, it’s a source of essential nutrients.

Let’s start cooking!
1. In a hot pan, heat the olive oil then add onion and garlic. Add the ground beef and mix until slightly toasted. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Voila! You are done and the Loaded Taco Fries is ready to serve. Enjoy!
It’s really, really good. It has the crunch of the taco, but more filling and yes, more delicious! Just the perfect dish to munch on while watching a movie or simply having casual conversations with the fam. Will definitely be creating more recipes with potatoes soon!
