These were phenomenal! I used about 9 medium red potatoes and also added 1/2 a packet of powdered ranch dip as someone suggested earlier. For a dipping sauce I used peppercorn ranch dressing and for the second and third batch everyone wanted me to add tomatoes and lettuce then top it with the dressing rather than as a dip. It was so yummy, even the next day--I briefly nuked it then placed it in a toaster oven. This is definitely going on my list of things to make again!

I had tacos like these in Mexico and wanted to recreate them. I topped them like I had them there - sour cream, shredded carrots (sounds weird, but it totally makes the dish!) and hot sauce. My family was skeptical beforehand but loved them right away.

I enjoy these tacos. I add sides of sour cream, guacamole, salsa, red onions for dipping. I don't like the ranch salad dressing. But they are good.

i was looking for a recipe for these because my host mom made them for me in Mexico. but these were way to greasy. i wonder if there is a way to cook them without the grease becuase i would like them better then. also the corn tortillas cracked when you folded them over or rolled them. my boyfriend liked them more though.

These are really pretty good. A perfect use for leftover mashed potatoes. My son gobbles them up. Don't make too many at once though because they are not very good reheated.

My mother in law makes these! They sounded so blah to me, but they are so good. We don't use ranch, but instead top them with cabbage, tomato, cheese, cucumber, whatever fresh veggies you have. Love them!

Very good. The potato mixture was mild and creamy, an unusual but satisfying texture to bite into. The tacos picked up the flavor of any sauce well, so we tried a variety of dips, including different hot sauces, dressings, and salsas. A great vegetarian alternative to Mexican food.

These are great! As someone else said, they don't reheat well but are fantastic when they're fresh.

I do something like this ,but I dip the tortillas in a red sauce then fry them. I serve it with shredded cabbage and onions and a lemon to squeeze over the top

These tasted pretty good. The only thing I did not care for was the frying part. There was to much oil. The combo of ingredients was good though.

I LOVED these. Although my husband wasn't as impressed as I was, I have made them several times. The only problem is that they don't reheat very well. Sort of soggy, so only make what you will eat at that meal

I could just feel the grease clogging my veins. They were pretty good, but I think I could only eat maybe a half of one next time. My husband loved them with ranch.

I didn't really care for this, but my son liked it. After reading the other reviews, I decided to add 2 tsp. of powdered ranch salad dressing to the potatoes for more flavor and used much less oil to fry them in. I've never had potato tacos before, and I didn't really like the combination of the corn tortilla and the potato. Liked the potato mixture with the ranch dressing, though, so might make that again.

These were pretty good. I used flour tortillas as we aren't overly keen on corn, and I also added some freshly ground black pepper and a little chicken bouillon powder to the mashed potatoes. I doubt I'll make them again, but they were nice for a change. Thanks, Yvonne!

These were wonderful--definitely comfort food. Make sure to soften the corn tortillas--if they aren't fresh, they will split. I softened the tortillas in oil and then I didn't need to use the toothpicks. I cut them into thirds and served them as appetizers. Very unique--everyone loved them! I had one for breakfast the next day with hot sauce...mmmmmm.

My mom used to make some tacos similar to this when I was growing up except she used real Mexican Cheese & she sauteed white onion & added it to the potato mixture instead of putting green onions in them. I love these tacos. We also put lettuce in them and ate them with Salsa and Parm. Cheese. Salt & Pepper should be to taste too.
