blue artemis' Potato Tacos

This is a fun recipe. Again, one of those lovely, I'm not sure of the amounts.
  • Potatoes (as many as you are planning to make)
  • cheese (I prefer mozzarella or monterey jack)
  • garlic salt or garlic powder.
  • corn tortillas
  • oil or lard to fry in
Boil the potatoes until they are soft. Grate the cheese over them, and blend. Use as much cheese as makes the potatoes solid yet sticky. Add garlic salt to taste. If your cheese is a little salty, you could just use garlic powder.

Warm up the corn tortillas (a few seconds in the microwave will work) so that they don't break. Take a big spoonful of potatoes, and plop it into the tortilla, fold over the tortilla so it looks like a pregnant half circle (not too much potato mixture, or it will leak) and set aside. Do this until you use up the potato mixture.

In a large frying pan, heat the oil or lard. Set your tacos in the hot oil and fry to a light golden brown on each side.

I like to serve these with cabbage which has been shredded and coated with lemon juice and a little salt as well as some hot sauce. We prefer Pico Pica, but your favorite sauce should work.
