Ingredients You’ll Need:

4 medium potatoes (peeled and cut into small cubes)
2 tablespoons olive oil (for roasting the potatoes)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika (for a touch of smokiness)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese)
1/4 cup cooked bacon bits (optional, for extra flavor)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
2 flour tortillas (for the pockets)
Sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into small cubes. The smaller the cubes, the quicker they’ll cook and the more crispy surface area you’ll have for that delicious crunch!

Toss the potato cubes in a large bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasonings.

Step 2: Roast the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast the potatoes for about 20-25 minutes, or until they’re tender and golden brown, flipping them halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. Once they’re done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Step 3: Assemble the Potato Pockets

While the potatoes are cooling, lay out your flour tortillas on a flat surface. Divide the roasted potatoes evenly between the two tortillas, placing them in the center of each one.

Top the potatoes with shredded cheese and bacon bits (if using). You can also sprinkle a little extra paprika or garlic powder on top for added flavor.

Step 4: Fold and Seal the Pockets

Carefully fold the sides of the tortillas inward and then fold up the bottom and top to form a sealed pocket. You want to make sure the edges are sealed tightly to keep all the delicious filling inside while cooking.

Step 5: Crisp the Pockets

Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and lightly brush with a bit of olive oil or spray with cooking spray. Place the potato-filled tortilla pockets in the pan, seam side down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside has melted.

Use a spatula to carefully flip the pockets, making sure they don’t spill their delicious contents. Once both sides are perfectly crispy and golden, remove them from the pan.
