Begin by washing and peeling the Russet potatoes. Dice them into bite-sized cubes, ensuring they're uniform for even cooking. Pat the diced potatoes completely dry using a kitchen towel; moisture can hinder their crispiness. Set them aside.

In a large mixing bowl, toss the dried potato cubes with oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Make sure each piece is well-coated with the seasoning.

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 18-20 minutes, shaking the basket 2-3 times during cooking.

While the potatoes are air frying, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Brown the meat for 6-8 minutes, then add taco seasoning and the recommended amount of water.

To assemble, layer the crispy potatoes on a serving plate, top with seasoned ground beef, and sprinkle with shredded cheese.

Encourage family to personalize their Taco Potatoes with optional toppings like pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream.
