Time 30m

Yield 8 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large russet potatoes
¾ cup sour cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon cumin
salt, to taste
½ teaspoon oregano
8 corn tortillas
oil, for frying
sour cream, to taste
salsa, to taste
cotija cheese, to taste
¼ cup fresh cilantro, to taste

Steps:

  • Thoroughly wash the potatoes and peel the skin off. Cut into smaller pieces and place in a pot of cold water.
  • Bring to a boil over medium high heat and allow potatoes to cook until they are soft.
  • Place softened potatoes into a large bowl. Mix in sour cream, garlic, cumin, salt pepper and oregano, and mash until well combined.
  • Wrap the tortillas in a damp towel or paper towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds, so they don't break.
  • On half of the tortilla, place about one Tbsp. of the potato mixture and spread it around. Fold the tortilla in half and repeat with the rest of the tortillas.
  • Heat one inch of vegetable oil in a pan. Carefully, place the potato tacos in the pan, allowing them to cook for about two minutes on each side.
  • Once they have developed a golden color, remove from oil and strain excess oil off on a paper towel.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings.
  • Enjoy!
