Mexican Fiesta Home Fries Recipe with Homemade Guacamole, Beans and Onions

It turns out that more than Idahoans love potatoes!

I did some research, and it appears that potatoes are America’s favorite vegetable. I never really knew that concretely, but from a personal standpoint, I can understand why!

There are so many things you can do with potatoes.

Zesty fries
Steak fries

Potato salad
Potatoes al gratin
Potato soup
Baked potatoes
Boiled potatos

Surely it is true that as stated on grit.com, “Mashed, hashed, baked, flaked, chipped, boiled or fried, we Americans love our spuds.”

Furthermore, when you are vegan, gluten free, and seeking to cut back on soy and corn products, they are always a nice, low expense fallback.

Here is a quick, low energy meal that is filling. I kid you not, this plate of food was hard to finish in itself. It’s perfect for its quick assembly, goodness, and satisfying nature.

I have to say that it is one of my favorite quick go-to meals. Golden potatoes, latin-flavored black beans and onions, fresh tomato salsa, and lime accented guacamole. Feel free to add anything you want to this dish.
