Equipment

  • Optional: Pressure Cooker

Ingredients

Baked Potato Taquitos:

  • 2 corn tortillas
  • 2 russet potatoes peeled and cut into large chunks
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil
  • salt as needed for seasoning

Creamy Avocado Dip:

  • 2 avocados ripe, pit and skin removed
  • 1 C greek yogurt homemade yogurt works well too
  • 1 jalapeño stem removed and finely diced

Instructions

  • In your Instant Pot, place your steamer basket and lay those potatoes directly on top. Add 1 C. water and lock the lid. Close the valve, and set the pot for 13 minutes at high (manual) pressure. Release the pressure, and dump any excess water - move the potatoes to a medium bowl and coarsely mash.
  • (If not using a pressure cooker, dice the potatoes and boil on the stovetop until tender).
  • Soak a clean dish towel in water and wring out completely. Lay your stack of corn tortillas within and wrap the dish towel around completely. Place in the microwave for 45-55 seconds. Remove.
  • In a medium skillet, heat your oil on low/medium. Place the tortillas, one by one, in the skillet - dip in the oil, gently flip to do the opposite side. Stack on a clean plate - 5 to 6 at a time.
  • Spoon 2-3 Tbsp of potatoes down one end of the corn tortilla in a straight line, then gently roll up and place in a baking pan. Repeat until all tortillas are exhausted.
  • Pop the pan in a preheated oven (350 degrees F) for 20-25 minutes or until crispy.
  • To make the avocado dip: place the avocado flesh, greek yogurt and jalapeño in the food processor or high quality blender and blend until combined. Pour into a serving bowl.
