Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium-sized potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 piece sliced avocado
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 0.5 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 piece lime
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and season with salt, ground black pepper, ground cumin, paprika, and chili powder.
Cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
In a separate medium skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Gently place a corn tortilla in the oil, using tongs to hold it in a U-shape to form a taco shell. Fry for about 1-2 minutes, or until crisp. Carefully remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Fill each crispy taco shell with a generous spoonful of the cooked potatoes.
Top with shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, chopped tomatoes, and cilantro.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over each taco for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy potato tacos!
