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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them until smooth.
Step 3
Stir in olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper into the mashed potatoes.
Step 4
Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet over medium heat until pliable.
Step 5
Place about 2 tablespoons of the seasoned mashed potatoes onto one half of each tortilla and fold in half.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the crispy potato tacos topped with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and fresh cilantro.
Step 9
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos before serving for added flavor.
