1. Prepare the Potatoes 
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

Spread on a baking tray and roast for 30–35 minutes until crispy and golden.
Sprinkle cheese over the hot potatoes and return to the oven for 2–3 minutes until melted.

Lower heat, add butter and garlic, then toss the steak for 1–2 minutes until coated in the garlic butter sauce.
Finish with lime juice and fresh parsley.

Place crispy loaded potatoes on a plate, top with juicy chipotle steak bites, and finish with sour cream, green onions, bacon, and cilantro.
