My husband wanted more! :) Really tasty side dish. Careful with the cinnamon, but the warm spice was very nice. I only baked mine (2 C worth) for about 16 minutes, baby red potatoes, and they were perfect.

My husband and I loved these! I was super hesitant with cinnamon being an ingredient. It sounded so weird. But they were delicious! I wanted to keep going back for more. We made them with tacos and I mixed them into my taco meat and toppings rather than eating a taco in a shell or with chips.

Made these as another side to a Chilli Con Carne. I cooked them in the Air Fryer for 20 mins on 190c. Perfect.

I love making potato burritos and this made them better than ever. That touch of cinnamon might be subtle, but definitely takes these to the next level..My new favorite Mexican potatoes.

The potatoes turned out super crispy and delicious :) I've combined them with a chili sin carne wichtig I highly recommend.

I LOVE this recipe! It's the perfect side for vegan tacos. I bring them with for work, and they heat up well in the microwave. Love!
