Mashed Potato Tacos With Red Salsa Recipes

MASHED POTATO TACOS WITH RED SALSA

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the salsa if using homemade. Then, in a saucepan, cook the potatoes in water to cover until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and mash with oil, or butter, and season with salt. Soften corn tortillas in a hot dry skillet until limp, 10 to 12 seconds. Fill each with about 3 tablespoons of mashed potatoes and fold in half. 2. Brush the outside of each taco with oil. Put in a hot skillet and cook the tacos, turning, until just starting to brown, but still pliable. Serve with fresh salsa. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.

CRISPY POTATO TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Thoroughly wash the potatoes and peel the skin off. Cut into smaller pieces and place in a pot of cold water.
• Bring to a boil over medium high heat and allow potatoes to cook until they are soft.
• Place softened potatoes into a large bowl. Mix in sour cream, garlic, cumin, salt pepper and oregano, and mash until well combined.
• Wrap the tortillas in a damp towel or paper towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds, so they don't break.
