I had something like this at a restaurant last night and had to try duplicating it at home. This potato quesadilla reminds me of a pierogi. I think this recipe can be played up with just about anything you like with potatoes. This can be a super-fast meal if you use the heat and serve bacon and premade mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 6 slices cooked bacon , crumbled
- 0.25 cups sliced green onions
- 8 flours tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 cup salsa
- 0.25 cups sour cream
Instructions

1
Stir together mashed potatoes, bacon, and green onions. Spread mashed potato mixture onto 4 tortillas, spreading to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese on top of mashed potatoes and top with remaining tortillas. Lightly butter each side of quesadilla.

Cream Cheese and Parmesan Bread Spread
This is a great spread for bread or crackers. It goes particularly well spread on bread with any pasta meal. Serve with sliced French bread or any other bread you like. While the bread is warming, mix the ingredients in a bowl, spread on the warm bread, and enjoy.
Southern-Style Pig Tails
Pig tails are used in a lot of different cuisines. They are great as a meat dish with turnip greens, blackeye peas, or boiled cabbage. My recipe cooks the tails twice, and the result is a crispy crackling covering the tail that you can eat or save for crackling in cornbread. The crushed red pepper can be used liberally for a spicy taste. Be sure to buy pig tails that have a lot of meat around the upper part.
