Taquitos de Papa (Fried Potato Tacos)

This is a very fast, easy and yummy recipe.
INGREDIENTS FOR TACOS:
Corn Tortillas
Mashed potatoes
Cheese, you can use fresh Mexican cheese or Parmesan
Toothpicks
Lettuce, shredded
Salsa (see recipe)
sour cream
oil for frying

Note: I did not specify amounts because it really depends on how much you are making.


Put a little bit of mashed potatoes in center of warm tortilla and roll (if the tortilla is not warm, it will break when you try to roll it), secure with a toothpick and fry.

Top tacos with lettuce, salsa, cheese and sour cream. Enjoy!!

RED SAUCE FOR POTATO TACOS

3-5 roma tomatoes (or use a can of whole tomatoes if you don't have fresh)
2-3 fresh jalapenos
1 garlic clove
oregano
salt

Boil tomatoes and jalapenos and then place in blender along with the rest of the ingredients, remember to add a little bit of water from the boiling tomatoes and jalapenos otherwise your salsa will be super thick. cool

  1. We loved these! I would probably try some shredded chicken in them the next time around. I asked Clint if it was something he'd want me to make again and he said he really liked it! They were sooo easy to make too. Thanks!!

  2. I made these for dinner tonight with your green salsa instead of the red as I had some left over from another meal. Very yummy!!!
