A delightful fusion of creamy potatoes, crispy tater tots, and melted cheese wrapped in flour tortillas, perfect for busy weeknights or family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups frozen tater tots
  • 3 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Small handful fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving

Instructions

  1. Start by parboiling the diced potatoes in salted water for about 5-7 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and let them cool.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the frozen tater tots for 20-25 minutes, until they’re golden and crispy.
  3. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft. Then, stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  4. Introduce the parboiled potatoes to the skillet. Gently mash them, incorporating the smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder (if using), and season with salt and pepper. Allow to cook until golden, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Fold the baked tater tots, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped cilantro (if desired) into the potato mixture until well combined.
  6. Warm the tortillas briefly, then fill each tortilla with the potato mixture and roll them tightly into burritos.
  7. For a crispy finish, you can optionally cook the burritos seam-side down in a skillet for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.
  8. Serve the burritos hot, accompanied by a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and any sides you like.

Notes

Feel free to swap out russet potatoes for sweet potatoes or use different types of cheese, such as pepper jack for a kick.
