CRISPY POTATO TACOS

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until soft enough to mash, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain. Add milk, butter, and white pepper and mash over medium heat until mixed, adding a splash more milk if needed. Stir in Parmesan and cotija cheeses; continue stirring over medium heat until nice and thick.
• Wrap the stack of tortillas in a towel (or paper towels) and microwave on high until softened, about 45 seconds.
• Spread 2 heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture on half of a tortilla, then sprinkle with cilantro and press the other half of the tortilla over potatoes to make a taco shape; the mixture will hold the taco together. Continue to assemble tacos while tortillas are warm.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and fry the tacos, turning them over occasionally, until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

CRISPY POTATO RAJAS TACOS

Steps:

• For the potato rajas: Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil and cook potatoes until just tender, about 6 to 8 minutes, being careful not to overcook. Drain, pat dry, and spread in a single layer on a tray to cool.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onions with salt and pepper until they begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in red bell peppers and chiles. Pour in heavy cream, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Cook 4 minutes or until cream begins to thicken. Add grated cheeses and potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until just heated through. Remove from heat.
• For the tacos: Heat vegetable oil to 350 degrees F in a large, deep pot or deep fryer. Dip tortillas briefly, one at a time, into the hot oil, just to soften. Spoon potato rajas mixture into center of each softened tortilla. Fold in half to enclose mixture and secure with a toothpick threaded through the top edge of the tortilla. Deep fry tacos for 3 to 5 minutes, until crispy and lightly golden. Remove and drain thoroughly.
• To serve, spoon Chipotle Crema onto four serving plates, spreading a bit to create a bed for the tacos. Place Crispy Potato Rajas Tacos on top of crema. Finish by topping with generous spoonfuls of Border Guacamole and Corn Relish and serve immediately.
• Combine ingredients thoroughly in a small mixing bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. Chill until ready to use.
• Cut the avocados into quarters and place in a mixing bowl. Mash with a potato masher or fork until chunky. Add the remaining ingredients and combine with a fork. Serve immediately.
• Heat 1/2 cup of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the corn with the salt and pepper, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool.
• Add diced peppers to the sauteed corn along with the scallions, red wine vinegar, and remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Mix well and let sit 20 to 30 minutes to blend the flavors. Serve at room temperature.

POTATO TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the sauce: In a blender, combine the tomatoes, garlic, jalapeño, tomato bouillon, and water. Blend for 20 seconds, or until smooth.
• Pour the tomato sauce into a small saucepan, then simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes, until reduced by half. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, make the tacos: Add the potatoes to a small pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
• Transfer the potatoes to a medium bowl. Carefully remove the skins and discard. Add the butter, paprika, dehydrated onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and use a potato masher to mash until smooth and evenly combined.
• Wrap the tortillas in a damp kitchen towel or paper towels and microwave for 1 minute to warm (this will prevent the tortillas from breaking when folded).
• With a spoon, spread the potato mixture onto one side of each tortilla, then fold the other side of the tortilla over the filling to seal.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat until the temperature reaches 325°F (160°C).
• Working a few at a time, place the tacos in the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes, then flip and fry for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Transfer the tacos to plates and top with the cabbage, tomato sauce, and Cotija cheese. Serve hot.
• Enjoy!

LOADED LITTLE POTATO TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Add the Little Potato Company Blushing Belle Potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes, or according to the package instructions, until tender. Drain and let cool for 10 minutes.
• In a medium pan over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil until it reaches 300°F (150°C). Fold a tortilla in half and use tongs to hold the folded edge in the hot oil for 20 seconds, or until golden brown. Lay the tortilla in the oil and fry on each side for 30-60 seconds, until golden brown and crunchy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and repeat with the remaining tortillas. Set aside until ready to assemble the tacos.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a clean medium pan over medium-low heat. Add the red onion and sauté for 6 minutes, or until softened and lightly charred. Add the shredded chicken, 1 teaspoon salt, and the black pepper, and cook for 2 minutes, or until the chicken is well incorporated. Transfer the chicken mixture to a bowl and wipe out the pan.
• Using the palm of your hand, gently smash each potato, leaving the potatoes mostly intact. Transfer the potatoes to a medium bowl and gently toss with the cumin, chipotle powder, paprika, cinnamon, and remaining teaspoon of salt until well coated.
• In the same medium pan, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, lightly fry the seasoned potatoes until crispy and golden brown, 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Make the elote-style salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the fire-roasted corn, tomato, crema, cilantro, lime zest, queso fresco, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
• Assemble the tacos: Fill a taco shell with the chicken mixture and crispy potatoes. Top with the elote-style salsa and garnish with cilantro leaves and lime zest. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Enjoy!
