Potato Tacos

It's been awhile....again...but we've been busy getting ready for out of town company and at the same time suffering from a little flu bug or something, UGH!!

When I used to work at my last job, one of the young girls mothers used to bring her and me lunch. One of my favorites were potato tacos. Usually I can taste a dish and know what is in it and mimic it almost perfectly at home. For some reason I couldn't this. For years I have craved it.

Recently I found a similar dish in my favorite cookbook. I am not going to copy the original recipe here, but just give simple, easy to follow directions. Again, this is one my meat eating older guys love around here!

First I boil some potato's. Sometimes right before I prepare this, sometimes if I know I will be making it later in the week and am boiling potatoes for another recipe I will make extras and keep them in the fridge until needed. For about 12 tacos I use 6 regular sized potatoes.

I also usually have on hand some of my homemade "refried" beans, if not I make them in the crock the same day(search "beans" for my recipe!)

I peel and dice the potatoes and cook in a little oil with some sliced onions. I add seasoning salt and garlic powder. I cook until slightly browned.

I warm some corn tortillas in the microwave then add a tablespoon or so of bean and a 1/4 cup or so of potatoes and fold over and fry in a little oil until just crisp. Then I add cheese and eat! You can add lettuce, avocado, or any other desired topping, but the flavor of these is so tasty, you really just want to enjoy it alone.
