Ingredients

– 2 cups mashed potatoes (prepared)
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
Creating Cheesy Potato Burritos is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Mashed Potatoes: If you don’t have leftover mashed potatoes, boil peeled potatoes until tender. Drain and mash, then mix in some butter, salt, and pepper.
2. Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.
3. Warm Tortillas: Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, just until pliable.
4. Fill Tortillas: Spoon an equal amount of the potato mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Make sure not to overstuff.
5. Wrap Burritos: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, and then roll from the bottom up to secure the filling.
6. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
7. Fry Burritos: Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
8. Remove from Skillet: Once crispy, transfer the burritos to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with chopped green onions or cilantro for an added touch of flavor.
With these steps, you’re ready to enjoy your delicious Cheesy Potato Burritos!
