Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium potatoes (2 lbs)
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, or guacamole
Instructions
- Peel and chop the potatoes into small pieces. Boil them in a pot of salted water for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper to season.
- In a bowl, mash the boiled potatoes until smooth. Mix in sautéed onions and shredded cheese until combined.
- Take a large tortilla and place a generous scoop of the potato filling in the center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to make a burrito.
- In the skillet, heat more oil if needed. Place the burritos seam-side down and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve warm with optional toppings like sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
Notes
Make sure to mash your potatoes well for a smooth filling. Customize the spices and use different types of tortillas if desired.
