As for the flavor, my wife and I both commented that it was very VERY hard to taste any real difference in flavor. Once you add some salsa, cheese, and sour cream, you might as well not waste the extra carbs on the potatoes. There was nothing "bad" about this - it tasted fine - but the potatoes just added nothing special.

PUT POTATO ON YOUR PLATE AND PUT THE MEAT ON TOP OF IT, THEN ADD WHATEVER YOU LIKE ON YOUR TACO'S, LIKE CHEESE, LETTUCE, AVACADO,ETC. THIS IS REALLY GOOD. MY FAVORITE DINNER. MY GRANDMA MAKES IT AND FRIENDS WHO HAVE TRIED IT STILL TO DAY WONT FORGET TACO POTATO THEY ATE FOR DINNER AT MY HOUSE.
