Original Recipe Yield 12 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 5 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 (12 ounce) package corn tortillas
  • 1 cup Ranch-style salad dressing

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
  2. Drain potatoes and transfer to a large bowl. Pour in milk and mash until smooth. Stir in onions and cheese; mix well. Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of potato mixture into the center of each tortilla and fold in half; secure with a toothpick.
  3. In a large skillet add enough oil to reach 1 inch in depth and heat over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas until crispy. Serve with ranch dressing for dipping.
