Tostadas de papa are a delicious and easy-to-make Mexican dish consisting of crispy potato tostadas. These tostadas are a popular street food in Mexico and are enjoyed by people of all ages. Making tostadas de papa is a simple process that involves a few basic ingredients and a little bit of cooking time.
To prepare tostadas de papa, start by boiling the potatoes until they are soft and can be easily mashed.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and allow them to cool slightly. Then, peel off the skin and mash the potatoes until they are smooth and free of lumps.
Next, season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or ingredients such as garlic powder or chopped onions. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
After seasoning the potatoes, shape them into small patties or rounds.
This can easily be done by taking a handful of the potato mixture and forming it into a flat disc shape with your hands. Repeat this process until all the mashed potatoes have been shaped into tostadas.
Once the tostadas are shaped, heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan or deep fryer. Carefully place the tostadas into the hot oil and fry them until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
