Follow The Directions

01

Step

Boil the Potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well. (Time: 20 minutes)

02

Step

Prepare Salsa Base: In a food processor or blender, combine half of the diced tomatoes, half of the diced onion, and half of the diced green chile pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. (Time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Sauté Potatoes: Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the drained potatoes and mash coarsely with the back of a wooden spoon or fork. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and slightly crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup of the blended tomato mixture and cook for another minute to combine. (Time: 10 minutes)

04

Step

Assemble and Fry Tacos: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Cook one tortilla until softened, about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side. Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the potato mixture onto one side of the tortilla, top generously with grated truffle cheese, and fold the taco in half. Fry in the oil until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining oil, tortillas, potato mixture, and cheese. (Time: 20 minutes)

05

Step

Make Fresh Salsa: In a bowl, combine the remaining diced tomatoes, onion, and green chile pepper. Add the remaining blended tomato mixture and stir until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste. (Time: 5 minutes)

06

Step

Serve: Serve the hot, crispy truffle cheese and potato tacos immediately, accompanied by the fresh salsa. Offer additional toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, or hot sauce, if desired.

For a smoother salsa, blend all the salsa ingredients. For a chunkier salsa, finely dice all ingredients by hand.
Experiment with different types of cheese. Fontina, Gruyere, or even a sharp cheddar can be delicious alternatives.
If you don't have truffle-infused cheese, add a few drops of truffle oil to the potatoes while they are sautéing for a similar flavor profile.
These tacos are best served immediately while the tortillas are crisp and the cheese is melted.

    Be careful not to overfill the tacos, or they will be hard to fry without the filling spilling out.
