Ingredients

  • 2 cups water

  • 1 (4 ounce) package instant mashed potatoes (such as Idahoan® Buttery Homestyle®)

  • ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

  • 1 green onion, chopped

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • 10 corn tortillas

  • 1 serving nonstick cooking spray

  • ½ cup salsa verde

  • ¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese

Directions

  1. Heat water in a medium saucepan to boiling. Remove from the heat and stir in instant mashed potatoes. Mix thoroughly with a fork to moisten all potatoes and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in Cheddar cheese, green onion, and cumin.

  2. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  3. Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high until warm, about 20 seconds.

  4. Spread 1 tablespoon potato mixture in the center of a tortilla and fold over to make a taco. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  5. Working in batches, place tacos in the basket of an air fryer. Spray the tops with cooking spray and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and repeat to cook remaining tacos.

  6. Drizzle salsa verde over tacos and top with cotija cheese.

Cook's Note:

This recipe calls for instant mashed potatoes but it's also a great way to use up leftover homemade mashed potatoes.
