Guest Post: Fried Taco Taters

First of all I would like to say a BIG thank you to Missi for allowing me to guest post for her. She has been such blessing to me! She has help me with my blog more times than I can count and I am so very thankful.

For this post I have decided to make a taco flavored fried potato. Missi had told me that her husband was from Mexico so I thought this would be a fun dish for her blog. These potatoes are so yummy! They almost remind me of the potatoes you get at taco bell. I did mine simple but you could certainly dress them up with some nacho cheese, salsa, chives, or anything else you think might be good on them. Hope you enjoy! =)

* Makes 3-4 servings

Ingredients:

– 4 medium Russet potatoes ( washed and peeled)
– 1 – ( 14 oz )can enchilada sauce or green chili enchilada sauce ( they both work well)
– 1/2 cup flour
– 1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
– 1 packet taco seasoning
– oil for frying
– sour cream & extra cheese for topping

Directions:

Dice potatoes into small chunks and put them into a container, fill the container with enchilada sauce till tops of potatoes are covered. Cover with foil and refrigerate over night.

Evenly coat the potatoes with the flour mixture. Using a slotted spoon take a spoonful of potatoes and lightly shake off all excess flour.

strain

Carefully drop spoonfuls of potatoes into the hot oil in batches… Do not over crowd the pan or the oil will cool down and potatoes will not cook properly. Cook till potatoes turn golden brown and can be easily pricked with a fork.

oil

Use a slotted spoon to take potatoes out of the oil once they have been cooked and lay them onto a plate that has been lined with paper towels. Sprinkle a little extra cheese on them while they are hot. Top potatoes with sour cream and serve.
