→ For Serving
08 -
Salsa (optional)
09 -
Guacamole (optional)
10 -
Sour cream (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Parboil the potatoes by just barely covering them in a pot with cold water, adding salt, and simmering until fork-tender. This should take 10-15 minutes.
02 -
Drain the potatoes. Add them to a large bowl and mash or mill them. Mix in the salt, garlic, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.
03 -
Add 1/2 cup of potato filling to the center of each tortilla. Pack it down so it sticks together. Roll them up and keep them seam side down.
04 -
Heat 1/2-inch of oil in a fry pan over medium heat. Fry the flautas starting seam-side down for 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown. You can crowd them.
05 -
Serve with your favorite salsas, guacamole, and sour cream.
# Notes:
01 -
You can substitute the smoked paprika for regular or sweet paprika. It won't bring the smoky flavor, but it will still be delicious.
02 -
Instead of the cayenne pepper, you can use chili powder for a sweeter twist, or birds-eye chili for a spicier one.
03 -
Flour tortillas work best in this recipe.
