Crispy golden tortillas filled with savory mashed potatoes and onions, topped with your favorite fixings.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (3.25 ounce) package instant mashed potatoes (such as Idahoan™ Signature Russets Mashed Potatoes)
  • 0.5 cup diced onions
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil for frying, plus more as needed
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Chopped tomatoes
  • 4 tablespoons Shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
  • Salsa
Instructions:
  • Follow the instructions on the package to make the mashed potatoes.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, sauté diced onions in oil until tender and translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in cooked mashed potatoes and season with salt and pepper.
  • Lay tortillas on a plate and microwave until soft, about 15 to 20 seconds.
  • Spoon a generous 1/4 cup of the flavorful potato filling into each tortilla, fold in half, and gently secure both ends with toothpicks.
  • In a skillet, heat oil until it shimmers. Fry each taco until they are crispy and golden brown, approximately 1 minute per side.
  • Remove toothpicks and gracefully adorn with delightful garnishes.
