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.
