Potato Cheddar Quesadilla Recipes

BLACK BEAN AND SWEET POTATO QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl. Mash sweet potatoes and mix in cilantro, chili powder, and salt.
• Place corn in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until warmed, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Spread 1/4 cup sweet potato mixture onto 1 tortilla; cover with 1/4 cup black beans and 1 tablespoon corn. Sprinkle 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese atop corn; cover with a tortilla. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.
• Spray a frying pan with cooking spray and place over medium heat; cook 1 quesadilla in the hot pan until cheese is melted and beans are heated through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining quesadillas; slice into quarters.

MASHED POTATO QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Stir together the mashed potatoes, bacon, and green onions. Spread the mashed potato mixture onto one side of half of the tortillas, spreading to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the mashed potatoes and top with the remaining tortillas. Lightly butter each side of the quesadillas.
• Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Place a quesadilla into the preheated pan, and cook until golden brown and crispy, then turn over, and continue cooking on the other side until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining quesadillas. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

POTATO & CHEDDAR QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Place a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Put a small amount of olive oil in a large preheated skillet.
• Spread mashed potatoes on one tortilla, and place it potato side-up in skillet.
• Top with shredded cheddar, spices, and any other optional ingredients that you are using.
• Top with the other tortilla and cover the pan.
• When cheese is melted & bottom tortilla is crisp, carefully turn over the quesadilla, and cook uncovered until the other tortilla is crispy (3-4 minutes).
• Slice into wedges, and serve with salsa or sour cream for dipping.

CARAMELIZED ONION & ROASTED POTATO QUESADILLA WITH SMOKY SOU

Steps:

• Toss Potatoes in 1 TBS Olive Oil and Thyme. Season with some salt and pepper. Roast in a 375 degree oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Remove from oven and slice into flat pieces when cooled.
• In a large saute pan, heat 1 TBS oil over medium heat-high heat. Add onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook until they caramelize, about 8-10 minutes, stirring often. Add the garlic and vinegar. Cook for about 1 more minute. Remove from heat.
• Mix together the sour cream sauce ingredients.
• Make 4 Quesadillas by layering the cheese, onions, and potatoes on 4 tortillas. Top with the remaining 4 tortillas. Press.
• Heat remaining 1 TBS oil in a non-stick skillet to medium high. Carefully cook each quesadilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side. You will know it is done when the cheese is oozing out and the tortilla is browned and crisp on the outside. Repeat the process, 1 TBS of oil per quesadilla.
• Serve with the sour cream sauce.
