Potato Tacos

Instructions

• Make the sauce: In a blender, combine the tomatoes, garlic, jalapeño, tomato bouillon, and water. Blend for 20 seconds, or until smooth.
• Pour the tomato sauce into a small saucepan, then simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes, until reduced by half. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, make the tacos: Add the potatoes to a small pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
• Transfer the potatoes to a medium bowl. Carefully remove the skins and discard. Add the butter, paprika, dehydrated onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and use a potato masher to mash until smooth and evenly combined.
• Wrap the tortillas in a damp kitchen towel or paper towels and microwave for 1 minute to warm (this will prevent the tortillas from breaking when folded).
• With a spoon, spread the potato mixture onto one side of each tortilla, then fold the other side of the tortilla over the filling to seal.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat until the temperature reaches 325°F (160°C).
• Working a few at a time, place the tacos in the hot oil and fry for 1–2 minutes, then flip and fry for another 1–2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Transfer the tacos to plates and top with the cabbage, tomato sauce, and Cotija cheese. Serve hot.
• Enjoy!
