Mashed Potato Tacos

For the life of me, I just can't see why the potatoes are necessary. There's simply no point in slathering on all the extra carbs. They certainly don't add any extra flavor. If you've just gotta have potatoes, a side order of fries makes more sense.

.........it's about variety. Get over yoyrself. Be embarassed for misinterpretation and a racist comment.

Bake or boil potatoes. Mash (add milk or broth to soften). Saute onion and tomato with minced garlic. Warm some corn tortillas in microwave (just enough to make them pliable). Mix potatoes with onion/tomato mixture and salt/pepper to taste. Spoon potato mixture into a tortilla, then fry in canola oil. (Not ddep fry, just enough tocrisp tortilla)

i love tacos!

This recipe is very easy to make - its basically just adding potatoes to the standard browning of beef before adding the taco seasoning. As for the flavor, my wife and I both commented that it was very VERY hard to taste any real difference in flavor. Once you add some salsa, cheese, and sour cream, you might as well not waste the extra carbs on the potatoes. There was nothing "bad" about this - it tasted fine - but the potatoes just added nothing special.
