Provided by doughgurl

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Taco Recipes     Vegetarian Taco Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 medium potatoes, peeled and halved
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons salted butter
½ teaspoon ground white pepper
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup crumbled cotija cheese
12 corn tortillas
½ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until soft enough to mash, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain. Add milk, butter, and white pepper and mash over medium heat until mixed, adding a splash more milk if needed. Stir in Parmesan and cotija cheeses; continue stirring over medium heat until nice and thick.
  • Wrap the stack of tortillas in a towel (or paper towels) and microwave on high until softened, about 45 seconds.
  • Spread 2 heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture on half of a tortilla, then sprinkle with cilantro and press the other half of the tortilla over potatoes to make a taco shape; the mixture will hold the taco together. Continue to assemble tacos while tortillas are warm.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and fry the tacos, turning them over occasionally, until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

Categories     Lunch

Time 1h

Yield 12 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 roma tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
1 jalapeño, seeded
2 teaspoons tomato bouillon
½ cup water
1 lb russet potato
2 tablespoons salted butter
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon dehydrated onion
½ teaspoon garlic powder
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
12 corn tortillas
½ cup neutral oil, for frying
¼ medium green cabbage, shredded
½ cup crumbled cotija cheese

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: In a blender, combine the tomatoes, garlic, jalapeño, tomato bouillon, and water. Blend for 20 seconds, or until smooth.
  • Pour the tomato sauce into a small saucepan, then simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes, until reduced by half. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside until ready to serve.
  • Meanwhile, make the tacos: Add the potatoes to a small pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a medium bowl. Carefully remove the skins and discard. Add the butter, paprika, dehydrated onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and use a potato masher to mash until smooth and evenly combined.
  • Wrap the tortillas in a damp kitchen towel or paper towels and microwave for 1 minute to warm (this will prevent the tortillas from breaking when folded).
  • With a spoon, spread the potato mixture onto one side of each tortilla, then fold the other side of the tortilla over the filling to seal.
  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat until the temperature reaches 325°F (160°C).
  • Working a few at a time, place the tacos in the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes, then flip and fry for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Transfer the tacos to plates and top with the cabbage, tomato sauce, and Cotija cheese. Serve hot.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right variety of potato: Russets are the best choice for crispy tacos because they have a high starch content, which helps them to crisp up well when fried.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in water before frying: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together.
  • Fry the potatoes in batches: This will help to prevent them from overcrowding the pan and becoming soggy.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help to give the potatoes a nice, crispy crust.
  • Season the potatoes liberally with salt and pepper: This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Top the tacos with your favorite toppings: Some popular choices include cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and shredded chicken.
