Tacos de Papa (Potato Tacos Recipe)

• porções: 6 servings
• tempo ativo: 10 minutes
• tempo total: 40 minutes

Ingredientes

2 pounds potatoes (peeled and cubed)

2 tablespoons butter

¼ cup Mexican crema (or use sour cream)

1 teaspoon ancho chili powder (optional – or use guajillo, a chili powder blend, or paprika)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon cumin

Salt and black pepper to taste

½ cup vegetable oil (or more as needed)

12-16 corn tortillas

Toppings. I’m using pico de gallo, crumbly white cheese, sliced radish, chili flakes, adobo sauce. Use your favorites!

Instruções

Boil

Bring a large pot of water to boil and add the potatoes. Boil them for 20-25 minutes, or until very soft.

Mash

Drain and add to a large mixing bowl with the butter, crema or sour cream, chili powder, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste. Mash until very smooth.

Oil

Heat the oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

Warm the tortillas in the microwave or in a pan heated to medium-high – this will ensure they do not break.

Fry

Spoon 1/4 cup mashed potatoes into each tortilla and fold them in half. Fry each stuffed tortilla in batches in the oil 2-3 minutes per side, or until crispy and golden. Drain on a wire rack or on paper towels. You can keep them warmed in the oven at 200 degrees F if needed.

Serve with your favorite toppings and salsa or sauce.
