Taco Bell shared some great news for its vegetarian customers: It’s bringing back its potatoes!

In a press release, the fast-food giant said, “After a brief hiatus from menus due to Taco Bell’s menu simplification efforts last year, Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes and the Spicy Potato Soft Taco will be back starting March 11.”

Taco Bell also announced it will be teaming up with Beyond Meat “…to create an innovative new plant-based protein that will be tested in the next year. ”

In a statement, Taco Bell’s Global Chief Food Innovation Officer Liz Matthews said, “The return of our beloved potatoes is just the first step in showing our fans the strong continued commitment to vegetarian we are making this year. We have long been a leader in the vegetarian space, but this year, we have more meatless options in store that vegetarians, veggie-curious and even meat-eaters will love.”

Back in July, Taco Bell announced it was “revamping” its menu which saw their potato items get the ax along with a number of other items including the Grilled Steak Soft Taco, the 7-Layer Burrito, Nachos Supreme, Beefy Fritos Burrito®, Spicy Tostada, Triple Layer Nachos, Loaded Grillers (Cheesy Potato, Beefy Nacho), Chips & Dips and the Mini Skillet Bowl. So far, there’s no word on whether these other items will be returning to the menu in the future.

6 Classic Cocktails Everyone Should Know How to Make

• Margarita

  Share

  Waste away with five simple ingredients: Tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, ice and kosher salt. Don't waste your time with sour mix.

• Negroni

  Share

  The Negroni is equal parts London dry gin, Campari and vermouth rosso, and it's equally parts satisfying and refreshing.

• Mai Tai

  Share

  You could serve this tropical delight in a tiki-style glass, but a standard large Collins glass is just fun with this dark rum-based cocktail.
• Pina Colada

  Share

  Rum, pineapple juice, coconut cream and ice all blended together, the Pina Colada is an island paradise in a glass, regardless of whether or not you enjoy getting caught in the rain.

• Paloma

  Share

  The Paloma has had a resurgence since last summer, and it's understandable why. Tequila, lime juice, and grapefruit soda on the rocks? What's not to love?

• Hurricane

  Share

  Saving the sweetest for last. A Hurricane is like dessert in a glass! Created in New Orleans, this dark rum, passion fruit syrup and lemon juice cocktail is traditionally garnished with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry. Laissez le bon temps rouler, in deed!
