Fiesta Potatoes Vs. Potato Oles Who Really Is the Top Tater
By Dawson Lee
I love Mexican fast food, even more so their potatoes. More specifically Taco Bell’s fiesta potatoes and Taco John’s potato oles. They are both very tasty but I’m going to figure out which is better.
Taco Bell’s fiesta potatoes are required for my order. They are very simple. The seasoning only consisted of garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. But I think it was really the cheese that made them what they were. Which was made from velveeta cheese, sour cream, and tabasco.
Taco John’s potato oles are a staple of their franchise. I don't think you can order at Taco John’s without getting potato oles. They are seasoned with a mix of Lawry’s seasoned salt, paprika, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper. They are often served with a cup of cheese sauce. Unfortunately we do not know what that consists of. I truthfully couldn't care less about what it's made of, all I know is that I could eat it by the gallon. My good friend Taylor Wirtz once said, “ The cheese on potato oles is God’s tears.”
Between the two I found myself eating more fiesta potatoes. But, they are now sadly discontinued as of August 13, 2020. Although, when the fiesta potatoes were still here they were required for my order. Not many things can instantly make your day better but i think fiesta potatoes could. On the slight chance I go to Taco Johns over Taco Bell, potato oles are always there to reassure my choice. The salty crunch of the potato paired with the slight spice of the cheese made you feel comfort.
As much as I love the fiesta potatoes, I don't think they can beat out potato oles for the top tater. I guess if they were as good as I thought they were they would still be here. However, the potato oles are loved by all. They will not be going anywhere, at least for a long time. Considering all of this, I believe the potato oles are the best Mexican fast food potato.
