Potato Tacos - Vegetarian Budget Recipe

December 14th 2008 05:49

These potato "tacos" are delicious! They are not low-fat in any way so if you're watching your weight, they might not be for you. If you want an extremely inexpensive and great tasting dish, you have got to try these.

----------------------------- ----------------------------- -----------------------------

POTATO TACOS

YIELDS: 10 Servings

Ingredients:

- 5 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 bunch green onions, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 10 corn tortillas
- Vegetable oil for frying

Directions:

1.) Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

2.) Drain potatoes and transfer to a large bowl. Pour in milk and mash until smooth.

3.) Stir in onions and cheese; mix well.

4.) Spoon 2 heaping tsp. of potato mixture into the center of each tortilla and fold in half.

5.) In a large skillet, add enough oil to reach 1 inch in depth and heat over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas until crispy and drain on paper towels.

TIPS:

These are not very good cold, so if there are left-overs, place them in the oven for a few minutes to warm before eating. Don't microwave or the tortillas will lose their crispiness.

SERVING SUGGESTION:

Serve with ranch dressing for dipping. This is the BEST way to eat them. They are dry without some sort of topping so if you don't have ranch, try salsa or sour cream.

Real Crash

Sounds great, if you are a "low budget person" or a vegetarian, or you just like grease!

Recipe has been modified - I just realized I forgot to add the tortillas in the ingredient list and budget list. Wow, I wonder how these would turn out without them.
