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.

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.
