Steps:
- Make the sauce: In a blender, combine the tomatoes, garlic, jalapeño, tomato bouillon, and water. Blend for 20 seconds, or until smooth.
- Pour the tomato sauce into a small saucepan, then simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes, until reduced by half. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside until ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, make the tacos: Add the potatoes to a small pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
- Transfer the potatoes to a medium bowl. Carefully remove the skins and discard. Add the butter, paprika, dehydrated onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and use a potato masher to mash until smooth and evenly combined.
- Wrap the tortillas in a damp kitchen towel or paper towels and microwave for 1 minute to warm (this will prevent the tortillas from breaking when folded).
- With a spoon, spread the potato mixture onto one side of each tortilla, then fold the other side of the tortilla over the filling to seal.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat until the temperature reaches 325°F (160°C).
- Working a few at a time, place the tacos in the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes, then flip and fry for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Transfer the tacos to plates and top with the cabbage, tomato sauce, and Cotija cheese. Serve hot.
- Enjoy!

- Place softened potatoes into a large bowl. Mix in sour cream, garlic, cumin, salt pepper and oregano, and mash until well combined.
