Directions:
Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:
Boil the Potatoes: Peel and chop the potatoes into cubes. Boil them until tender, then mash them in a bowl.
Cook the Onion and Pepper:
Sauté Vegetables: In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and red pepper. Sauté until they are soft and translucent.
Season the Vegetables:
Add Seasonings: Add paprika, black pepper, and salt to the sautéed vegetables. Mix well to coat the vegetables evenly.
Combine Potatoes and Vegetables:
Mix Together: Add the mashed potatoes to the pan with the seasoned vegetables. Mix everything together thoroughly. If the mixture seems dry, add 2 tablespoons of water and stir until well combined. Remove from heat.
Prepare the Taco Filling:
Spread Sauce: Take a tortilla bread and spread a layer of tomato pizza sauce on one side.
Add Filling: Spoon some of the potato and vegetable mixture onto the sauce.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the potato mixture.
Fold and Seal the Tacos:
Fold Tortilla: Fold the tortilla bread over the filling to create a taco shape.
Cook Tacos: Heat a clean pan with a little cooking oil over medium heat. Place the folded taco in the pan with the seam side down. Cook until golden and crispy on one side, then flip and cook the other side until crispy as well.
Serve:
Garnish and Serve: Once the tacos are crispy and the cheese is melted, remove them from the pan and place them on a serving plate. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese and fresh or dried parsley on top for decoration if desired. Serve the cheesy crispy potato tacos hot and enjoy!
