Ingredients
- 4 medium (approximately 1.5 lbs) Potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic (optional, minced)
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (optional, shredded)
- 8 medium Tortillas
- 2 tablespoons (for toasting) Cooking oil or butter
Directions
Step 1
Peel and dice the potatoes into evenly sized chunks for even cooking.
Step 2
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash with a potato masher until smooth.
Step 5
Add butter, warm milk, salt, and pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix thoroughly until creamy. If you’d like additional flavor, stir in minced garlic and shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 6
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking oil or butter.
Step 7
Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of mashed potato onto the center of a tortilla and spread it slightly. Fold the tortilla in half or roll it into a burrito shape.
Step 8
Place the filled tortilla in the hot skillet and toast for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden and slightly crispy.
Step 9
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and mashed potatoes.
Step 10
Serve warm, optionally with a side of salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for dipping.
