Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Make seasoning oil:.
- In a large bowl combine Fiesta Seasoning Oil ingredients, stirring well to combine.
- For Potatoes:.
- Place potatoes into a large pot of lukewarm water. Add salt. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Cook until potatoes are softened, but not fully cooked, 10 to 12 minutes total. Drain potatoes through colander, shaking a few times to release steam and soften edges. Allow to rest 5 minutes.
- Gently toss boiled potatoes in bowl with Fiesta Seasoning Oil coating thoroughly. Divide potatoes evenly between two rimmed baking sheets. Cook, tossing potatoes once, and rotating baking sheets; until potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, 25 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile make Nacho Cheese sauce.
- Nacho Cheese Sauce:.
- In a large saucepan over medium, heat oil. Add onion, bell pepper, garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until onion has softened about 5 to 7 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk, tomato paste, and vinegar, until well combined; allow to steep for 20 minutes.
- In a large heatproof bowl, combine grated cheeses, Place a fine mesh strainer over the bowl containing the cheese. Strain milk mixture into the bowl. Discard solids from strainer.
- Using a wooden spoon stir cheese mixture until smooth and saucy. If cheese doesn't melt completely, set bowl over a pot of simmering water and stir until cheese melts and mixture comes together.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 475° F. In a Ziplock bag, mix the garlic powder and cumin together; add the cubed potatoes, seal the bag, and toss it all together until potatoes are coated evenly. In a large, heavy skillet over medium heat melt the oil and butter together. Add the seasoned potatoes and cook, stirring frequently, until they're a nice, golden brown, about 10 minutes; cover and cook an additional 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender then season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer the sautéed potatoes to a non-stick baking sheet and bake at 475° F for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are nice and crisp. When potatoes are almost done baking, place the cubed Velveeta, salsa, and Tabasco into a microwave-safe bowl (I use a large Pyrex measuring bowl) and microwave for 1 minute; stir and microwave another minute; stir again and microwave for 1 more minute, then stir until smooth. For each serving, place some potatoes in a bowl, then pour over 1/4 of the melted Velveeta cheese sauce, top with some sour cream, then sprinkle with chopped green onion.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are the best choices for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and crisp up nicely.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you have a mandoline, this is the best tool to use for slicing the potatoes.
- Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together.
- Season the potatoes well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to season the potatoes. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder or cumin, to taste.
- Cook the potatoes in hot oil: This will help them crisp up and prevent them from becoming greasy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes will not cook evenly.
- Flip the potatoes frequently: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Serve the potatoes hot: These potatoes are best served hot and crispy. You can top them with your favorite taco toppings, such as cheese, sour cream, and salsa.
