Loaded Potato Quesadillas 5fix

---

5-ingredient fix contest entry. this comforting concoction was created one evening when i was craving the pierogies my grandmom made for me when i was a child. The flour tortillas cook up crisp and flavorful, encasing the delicious mashed potato filling. I sprinkle these with coarse salt and top with a dollop of sour cream before serving.
