Enjoy these easy and flavorful crispy potato tacos, perfect for a meatless weeknight meal. They are budget-friendly and can be made gluten-free.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8–12 corn tortillas
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped onions, cilantro, salsa, avocado

Instructions

  1. Boil or steam the diced potatoes until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain well.
  2. In a bowl, mash the potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Warm the corn tortillas by dipping them briefly in the hot oil, then place a spoonful of the potato mixture in the center. Fold the tortilla in half to create a taco shape.
  5. Fry the tacos for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove tacos from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings and salsa.

Notes

  • For an air fryer method, place the filled and folded tortillas in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy.
  • You can also bake the tacos on a baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping once, until crisp.
  • These tacos are a great base for a taco night board, allowing everyone to customize their own.
  • Consider serving with a vibrant salsa verde or a smoky chipotle salsa.
  • For a complete meal, pair with rice and beans.
