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.

Place a quesadilla into the preheated pan; cook until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining quesadillas. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Gingerbread Cheesecake
This gingerbread cheesecake is perfect for Christmas dessert! The cinnamon whipped cream is optional but it really adds a nice touch. Garnish with festive ginger cookies for extra wow factor.
Pina Colada Flan
Tastes like an island -- but in a dessert. Has a better texture than most flans. Best flan all my friends, even ones who HATE flan texture, have ever tasted!
Iced Peach Tea Lemonade
This iced peach tea lemonade is similar to the familiar Arnold Palmer, which is a blend of tea and lemonade. This peach-infused version is based on a drink I tried at a local brewery.
