My grandma makes these all the time and now that she is going back home to Zacatecas, Mx she wont be around to make them so I had her teach me today. It is very simple to do just a bit of a long process. Trust me these will fill you up!

Steps

1

boil potatos in water ( just enough to cover the potatos)
2

start boiling the tomato and chile for the sauce(enough to cover the tomato and chile)
3

once the potatos peel of easily or if you can easily slide a fork through the potatos then they are ready to mash. Next drain them in a strainer (at this time you can turn off the boiling tomatos and jalopeno and you will make the tomato salsa with these at the very end)
4

(so you wont get burned put the potatos back in the pan with cold water and peel the potatos )
5

place peeled potatoes in a seperate dry pan
6

get one potato from the dry pan and place in blender- now combine a tablespoon of salt, half a clove of garlic, a little bit of water, and 1tsp of cumin (after its liquified taste to see if it needs salt) add more if needed
7

add the potatoe mix thats in the blender onto the dry pan of potatoes and start mashing
8

heat up the griddle to medium high and start heating up all of your soft tortillas( since one serving for us is 4 tacos per person and there was 6 of us we heated up 24 tortillas)
9

fill up all your tacos with some of the mashed potato
10

Next, place oil in cooking pan on medium high
11

start frying the taco until its golden brown on one side and then flip with tongs and do the same...after place in a dry plate or pan on top of a napkin
12

lastly, make the hot tomato salsa to eat with your tacos- in the blender place the boiled tomatoes and jalopeno with a tablespoon of salt, half a clove of garlic, and 1tsp of cumin. Blend
13

serve tacos on a plate and place hot salsa on a small container and allow your family to serve themselves as much salsa as they want... (If you want the salsa very hot add one more jalopeno to boil on step 2)
14

Enjoy(:

I am from South Texas. I usually eat my Grandmothers Mexican Food but I decided that I need to learn her cooking to continue doing her recipes when she is no longer around. In addition, I am finding lots of great recipes on Pinterest that I will be trying out for the first time. I will post up all the good ones that I liked and I will continue to practice until I become a pro. I am already learning so much! I am only a beginner so if I can do it you can do it too!Have a great day!I have not posted any recipes on my blog. The blog is simply about my life as a new mother, new wife, and personal experiences.To know more about me visit my blog at itsourlifealexisandalexander.wordpress.comcontact me via email for questions at itsourlifegarcias@gmail.com
