Instructions
Creating Cheesy Potato Burritos can be both fun and straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and cube the russet potatoes. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil.
2. Boil the Potatoes: Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain well.
3. Mash the Potatoes: In a mixing bowl, mash the drained potatoes with a potato masher or fork until smooth.
4. Add Ingredients: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until fully combined and creamy.
5. Warm the Tortillas: In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm each tortilla for about 20-30 seconds on each side, until pliable.
6. Assemble the Burritos: Spoon an ample amount of the cheesy potato mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
7. Fold the Burritos: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top.
8. Cook the Burritos: Return the burritos to the skillet seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
9. Repeat: Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
10. Serve: Remove the cooked burritos from the skillet and let them cool slightly before slicing in half.
