- 500 grams potatoes, peeled
- 100 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
- 50 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- salt, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, or butter
Optional Fillings
- cooked chicken, as needed
- sautéed vegetables, as needed
- scrambled eggs, as needed
- ham, as needed
- avocado, as needed
- salsa, as needed
- sour cream, as needed
- hot sauce, as needed
Instructions
- 1
Wash and peel the 500 grams of potatoes. Cut them into quarters or smaller pieces to ensure even cooking.
⏱️ 5 min

Place the potato pieces in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Once tender, drain the potatoes thoroughly. For a smoother texture, mash the potatoes until no lumps remain. For a crispier, hash-brown-like texture, grate the boiled potatoes using a coarse grater. Allow them to cool slightly to release some steam.

In a large bowl, combine the mashed or grated potatoes with 100 grams of shredded mozzarella cheese, 50 grams of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and salt to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed and the mixture is cohesive.
⏱️ 5 min

Take a portion of the potato mixture (about 150-200 grams, or enough to form a thin, circular layer) and flatten it into a thin, round shape (approximately 20 cm in diameter) on a piece of parchment paper or a cutting board. Ensure the edges are somewhat compact to prevent crumbling during cooking.
⏱️ 5 min
- 6
For pan-frying: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Carefully transfer the potato base from the parchment paper to the hot pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. The cheese on the surface should melt and form a golden crust.
⏱️ 14 min

Alternatively, for air frying: Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. Lightly spray the potato base with cooking oil. Air fry for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Once the potato base is cooked and crispy on one side, add your desired fillings (e.g., cooked chicken, sautéed vegetables, scrambled eggs, ham, avocado) and sauces to one half of the potato wrap.
⏱️ 2 min

Carefully fold the other half of the crispy potato base over the fillings to create a wrap or taco shape. Cook for another 1-2 minutes if needed to warm the fillings and melt the cheese further.
