Ingredients
  

For the Tacos de Papa Filling
  • 2 large potatoes boiled and mashed
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or your favorite
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
For the Tacos
  • Corn tortillas as needed
  • Oil for frying as needed

Equipment

  • Frying Pan
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Start by boiling the potatoes in salted water until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Once done, drain them and let them cool a bit before peeling and mashing them.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, chopped onion, chopped cilantro, garlic powder, cumin, and salt and pepper. Mix everything until it’s well combined.
  3. Step 3: In a frying pan, heat some oil over medium heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan for frying.
  4. Step 4: Take a corn tortilla and add a spoonful of the potato mixture to the center. Fold the tortilla in half and gently press to seal.
  5. Step 5: Fry the tacos in the hot oil until they are golden and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Step 6: Once cooked, remove them from the pan and let them drain on paper towels. Serve hot, and enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F until warmed through and crispy again.
