Steps

30 minutes
  1. 1

    Boil the two potatoes until fully cooked. Peel and mash them. In a skillet, heat oil and sauté the chopped half onion and poblano pepper strips (optional). Add the mashed potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

  2. 2

    Use about 1.1 lbs (500 grams) of tortilla dough (masa) or prepare it with Maseca or similar corn flour, water, and salt. Using a tortilla press and two pieces of plastic, make thick tortillas. Place some of the potato mixture in the center, carefully fold and seal the edges, then fry in plenty of hot oil until golden and cooked on both sides.

    For the red salsa, blend 3 boiled and peeled tomatoes, 1 garlic clove, and 1/4 onion. Add half a habanero pepper and season with salt. Pour the salsa over the quesadillas and top with crumbled queso fresco or panela cheese.
