Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized potatoes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 small corn tortillas
• 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup diced onions
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• Optional toppings: avocado slices, salsa, hot sauce

Directions

1. Start by boiling the potatoes until they are fork-tender. This typically takes about 10-15 minutes. Once cooked, let them cool and then peel off the skin.
2. In a large bowl, mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a fork. Make sure to leave some chunks for texture.
3. Add olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to evenly coat the potatoes with the spices.
4. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Warm the corn tortillas individually for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable.
5. Place a generous amount of the potato mixture in the center of each tortilla and fold it in half to form a taco shape.
6. In the same skillet, place the filled tacos seam-side down and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy.
7. Remove the tacos from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
8. To serve, fill each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced onions, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Add any optional toppings such as avocado slices, salsa, or hot sauce.
9. Enjoy these delicious crispy potato tacos while they are still warm and crispy!
