LOADED BAKED POTATO ROUNDS
I was trying to create an appetizer that could be served at my teenaged daughters birthday party that the kids would love but that would appear elegant enough for the adults to be interested as well. These are made with simple ingredients yet yield a sophisticated result. Feel free to get creative with the flavors. Try shredded white cheddar in place of mozzarella or thyme instead of the rosemary. Take it up another notch by topping the rounds with smoked fish. -Amanda Digges, South Windsor, Connecticut

Steps:
- Chop jalapeño peppers finely.
- Chop cilantro.
- Boil potatoes till easy to mash but still a little firm.
- Mash potatoes and add jalapeños, taco seasoning, cilantro and cheese together.
- Prepare tortillas by fast steaming so they are easy to roll. I usually boil water in a small pot a little smaller than the tortilla's then place a double paper towel on top and place one tortilla at a time for 2 or 3 seconds till steamed, then remove and replace as you go.
- Take a steamed tortilla and spoon about 1 tablespoon of potato mixture in and roll gently. Place in baking dish with the rolled side down. Continue doing this lining them up in dish as you go.
- Place in freezer for 15 minutes or until they become slightly stiff. I like this method better than toothpicks.
- Heat oil on medium heat (I usually use olive oil).
- When oil is ready, place 4 tacos at a time with the rolled side down in pan.
- Flip to other side when brown.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Garnish as desired.
- I use sour cream mixed with taco sauce drizzled over the top.

LOADED LITTLE POTATO TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY
Here's what you need: Little Potato Company Blushing Belle Potatoes, vegetable oil, corn tortillas, olive oil, large red onion, shredded chicken, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, ground cumin, chipotle powder, paprika, ground cinnamon, fresh cilantro leaf, lime zest, fire-roasted whole corn kernels, roma tomato, crema Mexicana, fresh cilantro, lime, crumbled queso fresco, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper

Categories Appetizers
Yield 10 tacos
Number Of Ingredients 22
Steps:
- Add the Little Potato Company Blushing Belle Potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes, or according to the package instructions, until tender. Drain and let cool for 10 minutes.
- In a medium pan over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil until it reaches 300°F (150°C). Fold a tortilla in half and use tongs to hold the folded edge in the hot oil for 20 seconds, or until golden brown. Lay the tortilla in the oil and fry on each side for 30-60 seconds, until golden brown and crunchy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and repeat with the remaining tortillas. Set aside until ready to assemble the tacos.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a clean medium pan over medium-low heat. Add the red onion and sauté for 6 minutes, or until softened and lightly charred. Add the shredded chicken, 1 teaspoon salt, and the black pepper, and cook for 2 minutes, or until the chicken is well incorporated. Transfer the chicken mixture to a bowl and wipe out the pan.
- Using the palm of your hand, gently smash each potato, leaving the potatoes mostly intact. Transfer the potatoes to a medium bowl and gently toss with the cumin, chipotle powder, paprika, cinnamon, and remaining teaspoon of salt until well coated.
- In the same medium pan, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, lightly fry the seasoned potatoes until crispy and golden brown, 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Make the elote-style salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the fire-roasted corn, tomato, crema, cilantro, lime zest, queso fresco, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
- Assemble the tacos: Fill a taco shell with the chicken mixture and crispy potatoes. Top with the elote-style salsa and garnish with cilantro leaves and lime zest. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Enjoy!
