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
- 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.
- In a large bowl, mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a fork. Make sure to leave some chunks for texture.
- 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.
- 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.
- Place a generous amount of the potato mixture in the center of each tortilla and fold it in half to form a taco shape.
- 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.
- Remove the tacos from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
- 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.
- Enjoy these delicious crispy potato tacos while they are still warm and crispy!
