TACOS DE PAPA (POTATO TACOS)

Steps:

• Prepare mashed potatoes according to package directions.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sautee diced onions in oil until tender and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add cooked mashed potatoes and season with salt and pepper.
• Place tortillas on a plate. Heat in microwave until pliable, 15 to 20 seconds.
• Place 1/4 cup of potato mixture in each tortilla, fold in half and secure each end with toothpicks.
• Heat oil in a skillet until shimmering. Fry each taco until crispy and golden brown, about 1 minute on each side.
• Remove toothpicks and top with garnishes.

POTATO TACOS

Steps:

• Boil potatoes in salted water until easily pierced by a fork. When cool enough to handle, peel and roughly mash with cheese, cabbage, onion, chili and salt.
• Steam the tortillas in the oven or on top of the stove wrapped in foil (or in the microwave, wrapped in a dish towel, a few at time, for 40 seconds). Place 2 heaping tablespoons of potato filling along center of tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border at each side. Fold in half and secure with 2 toothpicks. Cover with a towel until ready to cook. (Tacos may be made earlier and refrigerated, but fry at room temperature.)
• Heat oil to a depth of 2 inches in a deep pot at 375 degrees and fry tacos 1 or 2 at a time until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove toothpicks. Keep loosely covered in a 200-degree oven.
• To serve, top tacos with a sprinkling of cabbage, onion, tomatoes, cilantro and, if desired, crema, salsa and guacamole.

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!
