Cheesy Potato Burritos: The Ultimate Amazing Recipe for 5 People


  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 large russet potatoes
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– ½ cup sour cream
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 4 large flour tortillas
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Optional: Chopped green onions or cilantro for garnish


Instructions

Creating these Cheesy Potato Burritos is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Boil the Potatoes: Start by peeling and cutting the russet potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
2. Drain and Mash: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly. Return them to the pot and mash with a potato masher.
3. Mix in Fillings: Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
4. Prepare Tortillas: While you prepare the filling, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and lightly toast each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side.
5. Fill the Tortillas: Spoon a generous portion of the cheesy potato mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
6. Wrap the Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up from the bottom, ensuring the filling is tucked inside.
7. Cook the Burritos: Place the filled burritos seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
8. Serve Hot: Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing.
