1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and chop the yellow potatoes into small chunks. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash.
2
Cook the Filling
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in the mashed potatoes, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
3
Fill the Tortillas
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable. Place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center of each tortilla and fold in half.
4
Fry the Tacos
In a deep skillet, heat oil for frying. Once hot, carefully add the filled tortillas, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5
Serve
Serve the crispy tacos dorados topped with shredded lettuce and salsa.
