  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, cored
  • 2 red jalapeños, stemmed
  • 1 clove garlic, smashed, plus 2 cloves, minced

Instructions
  1. Puree cilantro, oregano, sugar, tomatoes, jalapeños, smashed garlic, and ⅔ cup water in a blender until smooth; set salsa aside.
  2. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil, add potatoes, and cook until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain potatoes and transfer to a large bowl.
  3. Add minced garlic, butter, salt, pepper, and cumin. Mash until smooth. Set potato mixture aside.
  4. Heat oil in a 12" skillet over medium ­high heat. Spread 1 heaping Tbsp potato mixture over half of each tortilla, and fold over to form a taco. Working in batches, add tacos to oil and fry, turning once, until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes.
