Beef And Potato Tacos
These tacos are one of the most popular recipes on my blog. we made these by the hundreds for large dinners when i was in grade school. i can assure you that these are no ordinary taco. these are fried beef and potato tacos. after they're cooked, you have to throw on some cheddar cheese and let it melt into the taco meat. very cheesilicious. just in case you're wondering, they're fattening -- and oh-so-good!!
Steps
Peel and very finely dice the potatoes.
Russet potatoes can be used but are not recommended because they fall apart too easily.
Put the diced potatoes in cold tap water to keep them from browning while you prepare the other ingredients.
Add 1 tbsp of oil to a large skillet over medium heat.
When the oil is hot , add the onions and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook one minute longer.
Add the ground beef and break up the meat into small chunks.
Add 1 tsp kosher salt and tsp of black pepper.
Brown the ground beef then drain.
Using a potato masher , smash the ground beef into a very fine crumb.
Drain and discard the water from the potatoes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the drained potatoes to the ground beef.
Add tsp kosher salt , tsp black pepper , and 1 tbsp dried oregano.
To bring out the flavor of the oregano , rub it between your fingers before adding it to the beef / potato mixture.
Stir to combine.
Add 2 tbsp of water to the beef mixture , co.
