Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 corn tortillas (gluten-free)
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 4 lime wedges
Instructions
Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them until smooth.
Stir in olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper into the mashed potatoes.
Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet over medium heat until pliable.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the seasoned mashed potatoes onto one half of each tortilla and fold in half.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the filled tacos in batches until golden and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the crispy potato tacos topped with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and fresh cilantro.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos before serving for added flavor.
