Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash, peel, and cut the Russet potatoes into 1-inch chunks.
  2. Soak the potato chunks in cold water for 20-30 minutes for extra crispiness.
  3. Toss the dried potato chunks with a drizzle of oil, half of the chili powder, and a generous pinch of salt.
  4. Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway.
  5. While potatoes roast, heat a skillet and toast the remaining chili powder, salt, garlic, and black pepper for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in corn and water, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  7. Assemble the bowl starting with a layer of crispy roasted potatoes.
  8. Top with the beef and corn mixture, followed by shredded cheese, guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream.

Notes

For the crispiest potatoes, dry them thoroughly after soaking and avoid storing them with moist toppings.
