Potato Tacos with Cheese and Jalapenos (recipe repost)

[Guest guest]

Donna posted this recipe last year and it's a great

way to use leftover mashed potatoes.

 

Potato Tacos with Cheese and Jalapenos

 

8 soft corn tortillas

1 to 1 1/3 cups mashed potatoes

1/4 lb. cheddar cheese or Jack cheese cut into 16

matchsticks

1/2 stick butter, room temp.

16 pickled jalapeno slices

salsa of your choice (jar or homemade)

 

Soften tortillas in microwave or on a low burner on

the stove flipping them over a few times.

Spoon 1 1/2 Tbls. mashed potatoes into center of each

tortilla, flatten out the potato leaving 1-inch

border.

Lay 2 cheese matchsticks and 2 jalapeno slices on each

tortilla and fold into half-moon shape.

In a large skillet over med. heat melt 1/2 the butter.

Set 4 of the tacos in the pan and cook until browned,

about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining

butter and tacos.

Carefully cut tacos in half before serving with salsa.

Serves 4.

This sounds wonderful! Now do you need to pre-warm

the cold mashed potatoes any, or do they manage to

get warm enough to melt the cheese in the cooking

process? Thanks.

In Common things that round us lie

Some random truths he can impart,-

The harvest of a quiet eye,

That broods and sleeps on his own heart.

But he is weak; both Man and Boy,

Hath been and idler and the land;

Contented if he might enjoy

The things which others understand.

- Come hither in thy hour of strength;

Come, weak as if a breaking wave.

~ William Wordsworth 1770-1850

I warmed the mashed potatoes first.
