Time 15m

Yield 12 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 white rose potatoes (about 2 pounds), scrubbed clean and quartered
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
2/3 cup finely shredded cabbage
1/4 cup chopped white onion
1/2 teaspoon fresh jalapeno chili, finely minced
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
12 6-inch corn tortillas
Vegetable oil for frying
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 medium white onion, chopped
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
Crema (Mexican sour cream) or sour cream, salsa and guacamole

Steps:

  • Boil potatoes in salted water until easily pierced by a fork. When cool enough to handle, peel and roughly mash with cheese, cabbage, onion, chili and salt.
  • Steam the tortillas in the oven or on top of the stove wrapped in foil (or in the microwave, wrapped in a dish towel, a few at time, for 40 seconds). Place 2 heaping tablespoons of potato filling along center of tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border at each side. Fold in half and secure with 2 toothpicks. Cover with a towel until ready to cook. (Tacos may be made earlier and refrigerated, but fry at room temperature.)
  • Heat oil to a depth of 2 inches in a deep pot at 375 degrees and fry tacos 1 or 2 at a time until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove toothpicks. Keep loosely covered in a 200-degree oven.
  • To serve, top tacos with a sprinkling of cabbage, onion, tomatoes, cilantro and, if desired, crema, salsa and guacamole.
