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!

MASHED POTATO TACOS WITH RED SALSA

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the salsa if using homemade. Then, in a saucepan, cook the potatoes in water to cover until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and mash with oil, or butter, and season with salt. Soften corn tortillas in a hot dry skillet until limp, 10 to 12 seconds. Fill each with about 3 tablespoons of mashed potatoes and fold in half. 2. Brush the outside of each taco with oil. Put in a hot skillet and cook the tacos, turning, until just starting to brown, but still pliable. Serve with fresh salsa. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
