Crispy potato tacos from Tenderheart: A Book About Vegetables and Unbreakable Family Bonds (page 331) by Hetty Lui McKinnon

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute feta or haloumi for cheddar.

    Good. Would make some version of it again. Added some pickled jalapeno to the potato mixture as per the suggestion of another user here. Also defrosted some leftover shredded chicken in a bit of the salsa and added to the tacos. Make sure the salsa is spicy enough :)

    This is on frequent rotation, I usually add chopped pickled jalapeños to the potatos for a bit of heat and acid. Leftover potatos are great with beans and eggs in a breakfast burrito.

    Delicious and endlessly customizable! I had a lot of homemade salsa leftover (Guerilla Taco's Tomatillo and Avocado salsa), so I skipped the salsa recipe from the book. I added some sour cream, chile powder, and white wine vinegar into the mashed potatoes to pump up the flavor some. Great way to use up potatoes/salsa/tortillas!

    Absolutely delicious! As soon as I saw these as an option, I knew I had to make time for them. Lots of "moving pieces" so perhaps not the best for a weeknight, but then again, homemade salsa isn't required and the potatoes can be made a day or two ahead of time. Would absolutely make again!
