Tips:

- Cook the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be cooked until they are easily pierced with a fork. If they are undercooked, they will be difficult to mash.
- Season the potatoes generously: The potatoes should be seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder, cumin, or oregano, to taste.
- Use a good quality taco seasoning: The taco seasoning is what will give the tacos their flavor. Choose a seasoning that you like the taste of and that is made with high-quality ingredients.
- Load up the tacos: The tacos can be loaded up with a variety of toppings, such as lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. You can also add your favorite taco sauce or salsa.
