Crispy Potato Blt Tacos Sp5 Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Poke holes all around the potato with a corn-on-the-cob holder (or fork), then rub it with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put a metal skewer through the center of the potato lengthwise, put the potato in the oven and position a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any drippings. Bake until the potato is cooked through, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Serve immediately with desired toppings.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Add the potatoes to a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add the baking soda and 1 tablespoon salt to the water. Cover, place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Uncover and continue to boil until the potatoes give easily when pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set the strainer over the top of the pan for a few minutes so the outsides of the potatoes can dry.
• Dump the potatoes onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and toss with the garlic, thyme and rosemary until the potatoes are completely coated in the oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Using a small juice glass or glass bowl, smash each potato firmly but gently. (You want to just crack the skins and flatten slightly while keeping the potatoes mostly intact.)
• Roast until the bottoms of the potatoes are deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the potatoes using a spatula. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on both sides, an additional 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter with a metal spatula. Serve while hot.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lay bacon in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool.
• While bacon is cooking, toss together tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice and a large pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Taste and add more lime juice and salt, if needed.
• In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and hot sauce.
• Lay a clean kitchen towel in a medium bowl. Using the open flame from a stovetop gas burner (or in a skillet placed on an electric burner), warm and lightly char tortillas, 30 seconds to 1 minute per side. Transfer warmed tortillas to a towel-lined bowl, and cover with towel to keep warm while you finish remaining tortillas.
• Serve, letting people make their own tacos by layering bacon, salsa, lettuce, spicy mayonnaise and avocado, if using, on tortillas. Top with more hot sauce, if desired.

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.
