Potato and Cheese Flautas image

This is one of my family's favorite dinners and I can't blame them. These potato flautas are so crunchy and delicious! I often make these in larger quantities for parties and gatherings and they are always the first thing to go. Be creative with your garnishes and enjoy! I garnish with shredded lettuce, crumbled queso fresco cheese, salsa or guacamole, Mexican crema or sour cream, and sliced avocado.

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup shredded Chihuahua cheese
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon salt
24 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1 cup oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.
  • Mash potatoes with milk and salt. Stir in Add Chihuahua cheese.
  • Heat 1/2 inch oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in a dish towel or paper towel and microwave on high power for 2 minutes. If you don't steam them, they will crack when you roll them.
  • Fill each tortilla with a spoonful of the mashed potato mixture, roll tightly, and secure with a toothpick.
  • When oil is hot enough to make the flautas sizzle, put 6 to 8 flautas in the oil; make sure there is room between them or they won't cook evenly. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. If the oil doesn't completely cover the flautas, flip over and fry the other sides. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.

These potato and cheese flautas were an absolute hit with my family! They were crispy and cheesy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. The flavor was perfect, and I loved the addition of the green onions.
