NOTES

  • It is very important that the potatoes are well salted
  • It is important to warm corn tortillas before serving. Alternatively, you can use flour tortillas
  • If needed, add a small amount of water to skillet in step 2, to prevent potatoes from sticking
  • Optional: garnish with fresh crumbled queso fresco, salsa, black beans and/or shredded cabbage
