Mashed Potato Tacos Recipes

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!

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.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
• Drain potatoes and transfer to a large bowl. Pour in milk and mash until smooth. Stir in onions and cheese; mix well. Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of potato mixture into the center of each tortilla and fold in half; secure with a toothpick.
• In a large skillet add enough oil to reach 1 inch in depth and heat over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas until crispy. Serve with ranch dressing for dipping.

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.
