Carb on carb meals are something of a taboo in American cooking. But it’s something adored in culinary cultures around the world. Just think of the British chip butty (a French fry sandwich) to or the Indian vada pav – a potato fritter in a bun. One of our favorite carbolicious treats? Potato tacos.

Although potato tacos are usually deep fried, we opted for a method that was easier to prep and didn’t require deep frying. If you’ve ever bitten into a breakfast burrito and wished that it was just a tortilla stuffed with hash browns, these tacos are for you. We topped them with pickled onions, chipotle mayo, cotija cheese, and cilantro, but feel free to customize however you like.

And if you make these, please let us know how they turned out in the comments below!
