Mashed Potato Quesadilla
This Mashed Potato Quesadilla recipe combines creamy mashed potatoes and melted cheese inside golden, crisped flour tortillas. The filling consists mainly of smooth mashed potatoes and mozzarella or your choice of shredded cheese. Cooking in a skillet crisps the tortilla edges while warming and binding the filling, resulting in a soft, cheesy center with a lightly crunchy exterior.
