Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into quarters. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes.

  2. 2

    Season the Mashed Potatoes

    Mix in salt, ground cumin, and chili powder into the mashed potatoes until well combined. If desired, fold in shredded cheese.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side until warm and pliable.

  4. 4

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the potato filling in the center of each tortilla. Roll them tightly and secure with a toothpick if necessary.

  5. 5

    Fry the Flautas

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the flautas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with sour cream and salsa on the side.
