Everyday Cooking Vegetarian Main Dishes Mexican Potato and Cheese Flautas Be the first to rate & review! 0 Photos This is one of my family's favorite dinners and I can't blame them. These potato flautas are so crunchy and delicious! I often make these in larger quantities for parties and gatherings and they are always the first thing to go. Be creative with your garnishes and enjoy! I garnish with shredded lettuce, crumbled queso fresco cheese, salsa or guacamole, Mexican crema or sour cream, and sliced avocado.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain. Mash potatoes with milk and salt. Stir in Add Chihuahua cheese. Heat 1/2 inch oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in a dish towel or paper towel and microwave on high power for 2 minutes. If you don't steam them, they will crack when you roll them. Fill each tortilla with a spoonful of the mashed potato mixture, roll tightly, and secure with a toothpick. When oil is hot enough to make the flautas sizzle, put 6 to 8 flautas in the oil; make sure there is room between them or they won't cook evenly. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. If the oil doesn't completely cover the flautas, flip over and fry the other sides. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot. Editor's Note: We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
