Potato Rolled Tacos Recipes

POTATO ROLLED TACOS

Steps:

• Chop jalapeño peppers finely.
• Chop cilantro.
• Boil potatoes till easy to mash but still a little firm.
• Mash potatoes and add jalapeños, taco seasoning, cilantro and cheese together.
• Prepare tortillas by fast steaming so they are easy to roll. I usually boil water in a small pot a little smaller than the tortilla's then place a double paper towel on top and place one tortilla at a time for 2 or 3 seconds till steamed, then remove and replace as you go.
• Take a steamed tortilla and spoon about 1 tablespoon of potato mixture in and roll gently. Place in baking dish with the rolled side down. Continue doing this lining them up in dish as you go.
• Place in freezer for 15 minutes or until they become slightly stiff. I like this method better than toothpicks.
• Heat oil on medium heat (I usually use olive oil).
• When oil is ready, place 4 tacos at a time with the rolled side down in pan.
• Flip to other side when brown.
• Remove and drain on paper towels.
• Garnish as desired.
• I use sour cream mixed with taco sauce drizzled over the top.

TACOS DORADOS DE PAPA (POTATO TACOS)

Steps:

• Add the tomatoes, onion and garlic to a blender, and blend until smooth.
• Heat a pot (preferably the same pot used to cook the potatoes to save on dishes) over medium and add ¼ cup of oil. Once hot and shimmering, add the blended tomato mixture. Cook until it starts to reduce and darken, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
• Add the cooked potatoes to the pot and mash with a bean or potato masher until fully incorporated with the tomato mixture and just slightly chunky, but mostly smooth. Add salt, cumin and nutritional yeast, if using, and stir to combine. Turn off the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
• Add the shredded cabbage to a bowl with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Toss to incorporate, and set aside.
• Heat a dry (12-inch) skillet over medium. Warm all of the tortillas on each side in the dry skillet until soft and pliable, about 1 minute, and stack in a dish towel to keep warm. Add about ¼ cup of the potato mixture to half of each tortilla and fold over to cover. Try to keep the potato mixture completely tucked inside, then place the stuffed tortilla on a tray or plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with all of the tortillas.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 1½ cups of oil in a separate skillet over medium. Test the oil temperature by dipping an end of a tortilla to check for bubbling. Once the oil is hot, add 4 to 5 tacos at a time to the skillet. Cook the first side for 1 to 3 minutes, then gently flip and cook for an additional 1 to 3 minutes until crispy and golden.
• Carefully remove the tacos from the hot oil and return to the paper towel-lined tray or plate to drain off excess oil. Cook the remaining tacos, adding additional oil as needed and scooping out any potato bits with a slotted spoon.
• Serve immediately with sour cream and shredded cabbage.

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.
• On half of the tortilla, place about one Tbsp. of the potato mixture and spread it around. Fold the tortilla in half and repeat with the rest of the tortillas.
• Heat one inch of vegetable oil in a pan. Carefully, place the potato tacos in the pan, allowing them to cook for about two minutes on each side.
• Once they have developed a golden color, remove from oil and strain excess oil off on a paper towel.
• Serve with your favorite toppings.
• Enjoy!
