  2. Toss cubed russet potatoes with olive oil, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper on a large sheet pan. Spread them into a single layer and roast at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway, until edges turn deep golden and crisp.
  3. While the potatoes roast, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess fat, stir in remaining taco seasoning plus a splash of water, and simmer 3 minutes until thick and fragrant.
  4. Divide the hot crispy potatoes among four bowls, top generously with the seasoned beef, then shower everything with shredded cheddar so it melts from the residual heat.
