Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, add the potatoes with enough water to cover them. Cook on medium-high for about 10 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Pierce with a fork to check the tenderness.
- Drain potatoes and place in a large bowl. Season with the salt, pepper, garlic & onion powder.
- Mash potatoes with a potato masher or with the back of a fork.
- Stack the tortillas and place inside a kitchen towel or large ziploc bag. Microwave for about 15 seconds or until the tortillas are warm and pliable.
- To assemble the tacos, take one tortilla out of the time to keep the rest warm. Add about 1/4 cup potato filling and roll the tortilla tightly. Place seam side down on an air fryer or a baking tray. Repeat process for the rest of the taquitos.
- Lightly spray each one with cooking spray.
Air Fry
- Air fry the taquitos for 7 to 9 minutes at 400 F degrees (200 C)
- Place the rolled taquitos in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space around each one. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches.
Bake
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. (200 C)
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the tortillas are crispy.
Serve
- Serve warm and garnish with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Buy thin tortillas as they won't break when the tortilla is rolled. Thick corn tortillas dry out faster and break easily.
