Time 1h15m

Yield 9 tacos (3 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 13

10 tomatillos, husked
2 serrano peppers, stemmed
1 clove garlic
Salt and pepper
Salt and pepper
2 large russet potatoes
1 spoonful butter
4 leaves epazote, chopped
Salt and pepper
9 corn tortillas
2 cups vegetable oil
1/3 cup grated cotija cheese
1/3 cup finely chopped white onion

Steps:

  • For the salsa: Boil the tomatillos in water until soft. Transfer to a blender, along with the serrano peppers, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend well.
  • For the tacos: Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender; don't overcook--they should stay in one piece. Smash the potatoes with the butter, being careful to leave good texture; don't mash them all the way as if you were making mashed potatoes. Add the epazote and salt and pepper to taste; mix.
  • Heat the tortillas on a griddle until soft. Add about a spoonful of the potato mixture to one side of each tortilla, then roll up the tortillas like flautas.
  • Deep-fry the rolled tortillas in the oil until golden brown.
  • Serve 3 tacos per person, cover with salsa, and sprinkle with cotija and onions. Serve with a spoon on the side, so people can eat the salsa!
