Method

Preparation of Texas Mashed Potatoes

  1. 1

    Boil Potatoes

    Peel and cube the russet potatoes. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Mash Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Frying Tortillas

  1. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  2. 4

    Fry Tortillas

    Carefully add one corn tortilla at a time to the hot oil. Fry until golden and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembling Tacos

  1. 5

    Stuff Tortillas

    Take a crispy tortilla and spoon a generous amount of Texas mashed potatoes into the center. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top the tacos with crema fresca, grated Mexican cheese, and shredded lettuce mix.
