- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
- Salsa (for serving, optional)

Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool slightly.

2. Mash the Potatoes
In a large mixing bowl, use a fork or potato masher to mash the cooked potatoes. For added texture, leave some small chunks in the mash if you prefer.

3. Add Flavorings
Next, stir in the shredded cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined, and the cheese begins to melt into the potatoes, creating a creamy filling.
4. Fill the Tortillas
Place a generous spoonful of the potato mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Avoid overfilling to ensure the tortillas can be rolled up easily.
5. Roll the Burritos
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling. Then, roll it up tightly from the bottom, ensuring the filling is fully enclosed. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
6. Optional – Sear the Burritos
For those who enjoy a crispy burrito, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
7. Serve
Slice the burritos in half and serve with a side of salsa, if desired. The combination of the cheesy, creamy potato filling and the warm, soft (or crispy) tortilla makes for a mouthwatering meal. Enjoy!
