Vegetarian Mashed Potato Taquitos Food

VEGAN AIR FRYER TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Place potato into a saucepan and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
• While potato is boiling, melt 1 teaspoon plant-based butter in a skillet and saute onions until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Set aside
• Drain potato and transfer to a bowl. Pour in 1/4 cup plant-based butter and almond milk, season with salt and pepper, and mash. Mix in onion and garlic until well combined.
• Heat tortillas in a skillet or directly on the grates of a gas stove until soft and pliable. Place 3 tablespoons of potato mixture down the center of each tortilla, fold over, and roll up.
• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place taquitos in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching, and mist with avocado oil. Cook in batches if necessary.
• Air fry until taquitos are golden brown and crispy, 6 to 9 minutes. Turn taquitos over, mist with avocado oil, and air fry for 3 to 5 minutes more.

VEGETARIAN MASHED POTATO TAQUITOS

Steps:

• For the potato taco filling: Peel the raw potatoes and dice into cubes. Cover the cubed potatoes with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the water off. Mash the potatoes. Add the soft butter, finely chopped green onion and chicken or veggie broth. Sprinkle in the garlic powder and pepper.
• For the tacos: Heat a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F. Divide the potato filling in the middle of the tortillas and fold in half. Use toothpicks to pin the edges together. Deep fry in batches until golden brown, 60 to 90 seconds. (You can also pan fry the tortillas, turning over halfway through.)
• Remove from the oil with tongs and pat dry with a paper towel to remove extra oil. Let cool before removing the toothpicks.
• Open the tortilla to see the potato filling. Add the condiments inside the taco as you like.

POTATO CHEESE TAQUITOS

Steps:

• peel and cut potatoes into small squares then boil with salt until tender.
• drain potatoes and then add sour cream and cheese and mix all together as if making mash potatos. They should be thick and a little chunky. Check the taste to make sure it's enough salt or you may also add a little garlic salt. Set aside and start on tortillas.
• warm tortillas on a skillet or in microwave just to soften and keep them warm either in a plastic bag or in a tortilla warmer.
• Scoop some of the potato mix onto your tortilla and you can either roll the tortillas or you can fold them in half. The potato makes the tortilla stick together or if you'd like you can hold with a toothpick.
• Lastly warm the oil and fry your taquitos until gold and crisp. Then drain the oil of the taquitos by placing them on a cookie sheet lined with paper towels for a few minutes.
• VOILA! Just add all the topings over your taquitos and enjoy!
