Cheesy Potato Taco Skillet

Description: I came up with this for lunch today. It isn't exactly "figure friendly" but it sure is good!! Serve with taco chips or beans or any side you wish.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 potato, peeled and chopped (1/2-inch squares, like homefries)
• 2 cups vegetable oil or 2 cups canola oil
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning (Tony Chachere's is my favorite)
• 1 cup cheddar cheese or 1 cup Mexican blend cheese, shredded

Steps:

1. Heat oil to medium high heat and fry potato pieces until crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside, like homefries. Drain on a paper towel.
2. Meanwhile, in a seperate skillet, brown ground beef until done through. Drain well.
3. Return beef to skillet and add water, chili powder, cumin and cajun seasoning. Stir to make a taco sauce.
4. Add potatoes and stir until sauce coats potatoes.
5. Add cheese and stir until melted. Serve immediately.
