Description
Cozy and satisfying burritos filled with creamy mashed potatoes, melted cheese, and warming spices, all crisped to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
- Peel (if you like) and cut the potatoes into even chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until a fork slides in easily, about 12–15 minutes. Drain well.
- Mash the hot potatoes in a bowl until mostly smooth. Stir in the shredded cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper. Mix until the cheese melts into the mash.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds. Spoon an even portion of the potato mixture down the center of each tortilla. Fold the sides in, then roll tightly burrito-style. Heat a skillet over medium and add a little olive oil or spray. Place burritos seam-side down and cook until golden and crispy, about 3–4 minutes per side.
- Remove the burritos from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. Slice in half if you like and serve warm with your choice of toppings.
Notes
For extra crispness, brush a little oil on the outside of the tortilla before frying. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
