Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 12 corn tortillas (gluten-free)
• 0.5 cup avocado oil
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 4 lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them until smooth.

Step 3

Stir in olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper into the mashed potatoes.

Step 4

Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet over medium heat until pliable.

Step 5

Place about 2 tablespoons of the seasoned mashed potatoes onto one half of each tortilla and fold in half.

Step 6

Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the filled tacos in batches until golden and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 7

Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the crispy potato tacos topped with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and fresh cilantro.

Step 9

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos before serving for added flavor.
