Hot Potato ............ TACOS :)

I make these Tacos for my Boys............ and they LOVE them. They are quick, easy, and Most importantly cheap! You will need about 6-8 russet potatoes , shredded mexican cheese, heavy cream, Vegetable oil, paprika, salt/pepper, ,melted butter, shredded lettuce, corn tortillas .... 

Take your potatoes peel, cut into cubes, cover with water and boil until fully cooked (like making mashed potatoes)  Once potatoes are mashed add 2tbsp melted butter, about 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream, about 1/4 cup shredded cheese, and a couple sprinklings of paprika, salt, and pepper. Next you wanna heat up your tortillas on a Comal (tortilla hot plate) set aside the tortillas, now stuff each tortilla with a spoon full or two of mashed potato mix, close the tortilla and secure the top with a toothpick. Heat oil in skillet to med high. oil should sizzle if taco dipped in. Place tacos in oil, seam side down. fry 2-3 minutes on first side, the flip and fry second side for a couple minutes. remove with tongs and tilt tacos so any oil inside taco can drain out on a paper-towel lined dish. Once the tacos are cool enough to handle, remove the toothpick and stuff with shredded lettuce and cheese. Enjoy!
