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.

Not a fan. The potatoes were too crispy and the overall flavor was just okay. I think I'll stick to my regular taco recipe.

These tacos were a fun and different way to enjoy potatoes. The crispy texture was a nice contrast to the soft toppings. I'll definitely be making these again!

The potatoes were a bit too greasy for my taste, but the rest of the taco was great. I'll try again with less oil next time.

Not bad, but not great. The potatoes were a bit too crispy for my taste, and the overall flavor was just okay. I think I'll stick to my regular taco recipe.

Easy to make and so yummy! I used russet potatoes and they turned out perfectly crispy. The avocado crema is a great addition, too. Definitely recommend!
