Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 4 medium potatoes (baked, or frozen fries) Use leftover baked potatoes or cook frozen fries until crispy.

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
For Assembly

  • Optional toppings: diced jalapeños, sour cream, green onions, or any favorite toppings! Get creative with toppings!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If using baked potatoes, peel and mash them in a large bowl. If using frozen fries, cook them according to the package instructions until crispy.
  2. Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and season with salt and pepper to the potatoes. Mix well.
Assembly
  1. Warm a tortilla and add a scoop of the potato mixture into the center. Top with shredded cheese.
  2. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll it from the bottom up, keeping the filling snug inside.
  3. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place each burrito seam-side down in the pan.
  2. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Notes

Serve with homemade guacamole and salsa for family dinners or cut into bite-sized pieces for appetizers on game day. For a midnight snack, reheat in the microwave or toaster oven. Consider adding proteins like chicken or beef, or try a vegan version with cauliflower and dairy-free cheese.
