Loaded Potato Quesadillas #5FIX image

5-Ingredient Fix Contest Entry. This comforting concoction was created one evening when I was craving the pierogies my grandmom made for me when I was a child. The flour tortillas cook up crisp and flavorful, encasing the delicious mashed potato filling. I sprinkle these with coarse salt and top with a dollop of sour cream before serving.

These quesadillas are a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I always have a few leftover potatoes after I make mashed potatoes, and this is a great way to use them up.

I thought these quesadillas were just okay. The flavor was a bit bland for me.

These quesadillas were a little bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try using less butter next time.

I'm not a big fan of potatoes, but these quesadillas were surprisingly good. The cheese and bacon really balanced out the flavor of the potatoes.
