Crispy Potato Tacos Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Potato Tacos Delight.

1. Step 1

   Place the halved potatoes in a large pot and cover them with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are soft enough to mash, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes.

2. Step 2

   In the same pot, add the milk, butter, and white pepper to the drained potatoes. Mash the mixture over medium heat until well combined, adding a splash more milk if needed for creaminess.

3. Step 3

   Stir in the grated Parmesan and crumbled cotija cheese, continuing to stir over medium heat until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.

4. Step 4

   Wrap the stack of corn tortillas in a towel or paper towels and microwave on high for about 45 seconds, or until softened.

5. Step 5

   To assemble the tacos, spread 2 heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture on one half of a tortilla. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, then fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a taco shape. The potato mixture will help hold the taco together. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling while they are still warm.

6. Step 6

   Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Fry the assembled tacos, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
