Instructions
Creating Cheesy Potato Burritos is simple if you follow these steps closely:
1. Boil the Potatoes: Peel and cube the potatoes. Place them in a pot with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender (about 15-20 minutes).
2. Drain and Mash: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
3. Add Cheese: Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream (if using). Stir until the cheese is melted and well combined.
4. Prepare Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
5. Fill the Tortillas: Spoon a generous portion of the cheesy potato mixture onto each tortilla, then sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired.
6. Roll the Burritos: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to create a burrito.
7. Toast the Burritos: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place each burrito seam-side down in the skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side).
8. Let Rest: Remove from the skillet and let the burritos rest for about 5 minutes to cool slightly before slicing in half.
9. Serve Warm: Serve your Cheesy Potato Burritos with salsa or hot sauce, if desired, for extra flavor.
By following these steps, you’ll have a plate full of mouthwatering Cheesy Potato Burritos that everyone will love!
