Potato Taquitos – Tacos Dorados de Papa
- Cook Time: 20 mins
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 8 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound red potatoes
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits or corn kernels
- 1/4 cup small-diced onion
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 8 corn tortillas
- oil for frying (about 1 cup)
- Green salsa
Instructions
- Halve potatoes and put into a pot with enough water to cover. Bring to boil over high and boil for about 8-10 minutes or until soft. Drain.
- Mash potatoes, skin and all, with remaining ingredients (except tortillas and oil).
- Soften tortillas. I wrap a stack with a damp paper towel and mirowave for a minute, then flip and micro another 30 seconds or so until soft and steamy. If you don’t like microwaves, you can soften them individually on a lightly oiled griddle for a few seconds on each side.
- Roll about 1/2 cup of the filling into each tortilla. Seal with a toothpick if need be. Lay all rolled taquitos on a plate, seam-side down.
- Heat 1/2 inch of oil over medium-high until shimmering. Fry taquitos for a minute on each side to get them golden and crispy. Drain and serve with condiments.
